Hello guys,
New to the website but have been in the hobby for about 2 months. I have an IM 25g which is pretty much all Euphyllia.
Stocking: pair of clowns, skunk cleaner, Pom Pom crab, hermits / snails.

I’m looking to add a bit more subtle movement in the tank — 1 or 2 pipefish. Can anyone with experience share how they’ve done it successfully? I don’t want to waste money / crash my system.

Thanks all!

Sorry I’ve never had pipe fish but welcome, glad you are here!

Welcome to the hobby!

As for pipefish, probably not a great idea. They are considered expert level fish. Hard to keep alive with a specialized diet, they may never accept frozen foods. Also, you'd likely have to get rid of your clowns.
