New to R2R in Florida

[veechoda]

I've only been in the saltwater end of the hobby since last June when I got an internship at nature center. Now I'm the resident "aquarist" at the same center, in charge of 2000 gals of brackish tanks.
Beyond my job I'm building a 10 gal cube to try my hand at reef keeping.
Happy to be a part of this huge and helpful community.

We're located on an island in the Indian River Lagoon, so I can display any natives within that ecosystem.

Currently that includes Spadefish, Permit, Pompano, Mojarra, Sheepshead, Sailfin Mollies, Puffer, Grunt, Peppermint Shrimp, Pencil Urchin, Pincushion Urchin, Horse Conch, Fighting Conch, Queen Conch, and various snails and hermits.

Keeps me busy for sure.

I was looking to do a Goby/shrimp combo and maybe a clownfish.
Gotta admit I've always been more invert focused.
If I did go clownfish route, what's a good host anemone for a nano?
