Happy tank! One week later everything has been going smooth so far, did a 30% water change with NSW from the reef lagoon 10 miles offshore today. Brought back 100gallons of it.

if its a 5.5 gallon tank, your biggest issue will be filtration, lighting, and enough food for filter feeding. What does the tank setup look like?

My lighting is a Kessil A160WE Tuna Blue, I'm using a Chinese pump currently off the shelf rated at 180g/hr, so my turn over rate is 36 times an hour. " Things can be hard to source reliable here" currently waiting on a bulk reef supply shipment . I'm feeding Reef Snow with the Tropic Marin Phyton and Zooton.

Need to get a power head but don't know what to use size wise yet.
 
Can anyone tell me what these are hiding in the coral? Crab/mite/spider? The coral has 3 of them the have never fully come out, I've seen two smaller pinchers sweep out.
