My friend has been running a 20 gallon tank for about 6 months now. After moving too fast and crashing his tank already he has asked for my advice to slowly restock his tank. It has been 3 months since the crash and he has since added a cleanup crew and 3 small fish. His nitrates aren’t perfect and he does a water change whenever they reach about 20 ppm. His lights are strong enough to support most coral.

he is interested in adding some coral that will accept his dirty water. I recommended ricordia shrooms toadstool zoas and xenia so far.

i was wondering if rock flower nems would also be a good recommendation. They have always been extremely tough in my experience.

Also any other suggestions that anyone can think of would be great to hear

thanks!
 
There’s an exceptionally good opportunity for him to snag some rock flower anemones that expires tomorrow so I’m especially curious about opinions on those.
