Bubble anemone inside of a large shell

Thank you for the Information the picture in my profile is my old 55 gallon tank I now have a 75 with a icecap sump running a uv and protein skimmer on the sump also unfortunately both clowns died last night with that being said I should wait 60 days until I add fish to my display tank also can I leave my rock in the display tank and just wait it out for whatever it is to die

Sorry to hear this. Yes 60 days fallow (no fish) in the tank. Everything else is good.

Put some food in the tank if you have corals that need nutrients. Ghost feeding if you will. Since fish are moved out, your nutrient levels can drop or even bottom out. Bacteria will Be okay for 60 days but the nitrogen cycle will stop being there since there is less ammonia or no ammonia to convert as it is with fish in the tank, and food that you’re putting in to feed the fish is food enough.

Will do thank you so I should have a better biological filter by then also would it help to add 2 polyplabs genesis rocks to my sump?

100%! And add some extra bacteria before putting them in. I season mine with Fritz in a small bucket of salt water for a few hours. Does it help, I have no evidence, but can’t hurt haha.

One of my DT systems the larger one I have 24 +-. Lost track haha!
