My fluval 13.5g tank

Other than the GSP I have no idea what the other corals are. They were on sale, and the lady there didnt know what they were. I thought the orange stoney coral was a birdnest coral, but I haven't seen any of that color.
I would like to put more fish in it, but I'm pretty sure the tank is over stocked or pretty close to it. So gonna wait until I can get a bigger tank.


1 - Wyoming White
1 - Chocolate mocha
1 - Peppermint shrimp
4 - Blue Legged hermits
6 - Nass Snails
2 - Throuchs Snails
3 - Nerit Snails
And many cerith,

The first coral looks like a montipora digitata. Make sure you test alk frequently. Also good on you for putting the paly on the sand and the green star on and island. Have fun!


PS it might be a good idea to put a little bit of a seaweed clip in for the snails since there really isn't any food in there for them from the looks of it.

Agreed on the digi and palys, looks like cyphastrea on the second photo.

I started on that tank 13.5 it holds a special place in my reefing heart. Take your time I went fast and ran out of room

Yeah as much as I love the GSP I don't want it every where xp
I would like to get more soft corals in there, but I've heard that peppermint shrimp are known for eating soft corals. Is there a good replacement for the shrimp that eat aiptasia?

I've had a peppermint shrimp and I ran an LPS, softie dominated tank, I've only encountered an issue during feeding time (or not feeding enough). If food remains on your sofites (which it will) the shrimp will go for the food. The key is to distract it by placing food in another spot for it. Unfortunately, the challenge you'll face is the small water column...

They do not eat soft corals. Also, you should always dip you corals and avoid buying from any tanks that have aiptasia.

I did a rescape. I don't know why, but it was brother me. But now the peppermint shrimp and clowns have some good hiding spaces and the shrimp can conceal its self during the day. I think I need a bigger/another power head though so I dont get to many dead spots.
