Best bottom dwelling fish and anemone

BigTomo003 · Apr 13, 2020

Hi I have 2 occy clowns and a coral beuty angel, a blood red fire shrimp a few hermits and 2 nassarus snails. I want to complete my tank with a bottom dwelling fish that doesn't burrow as I only have around a half inch of sand for the looks, needs to be reef safe and relitivly small. I would prepare a sand sifting one but I'm not to bothered... I also want a bta to acompany my pair of clowns but my tanks only been set up for around 3 months and I've been told there so easy and that there so hard? I was thiking of a Duncan coral to replace it so it can't move? Any input cheers, oh and I have some euphilia corals that may sting the anemone and some corals the anemone may sting so am I stuck there too!?

Anemone's need a stable environment so I would wait till the tank is at least 6 months. Anemones will move away from euphilla and walk wherever they want. Blennies stay mostly on the bottom.

OK thanks, ye I'll wait till 6 month mark then all water has been stable since I added the first fish so all good there, do u recommend any colourful Blenny's that aren't bicolors as I was looking for maybe a blue or green fish maybe??

Your tank still may go through some more uglies and swings. I'm not a big fan of Blennies. IMO kind of drab looking. I know people who love them but I've never had one. I like my diamond goby and don't mind the sandstorms

How big is your tank? Tank size is one of the most important piece of information needed for fish recommendation.

There in a 60L grow out tank ATM, when the angel get a little bigger he will be going in a 600L 5ft tank. But as off now they are in a 60x 60x 60x cm cube
(There all juviniles just now)
So it will just be the clown pair. Sorry I never said that in the first post so yea a 60l cube which I'm sure is about 20gal
