Hi there! So, I’ve come to the realization that my 6 sexy shrimp in this 15g cube in my bedroom, are quite the pickers. I’m fairly confident they are what caused damage to my hammers in here, and why the zoas weren’t opening up. I moved all of those into my 40b and they are all starting to bounce back. I also previously had a pectinia frag in here that had skeleton exposed, and now is fat and happy in the 40b. So it looks like zoas and some LPS are definite no-goes so far.

What’s left are a bunch of mushrooms, an RFA, a finger leather, skittles bomb cyphastrea, sunset monti, and a forest fire digi colony. All of those are happy with new growth all the time, and all 3 SPS have attached to the rock work. I just fragged the forest fire digi, which is why it’s unhappy. Otherwise, it’s high enough up they don’t really mess with it.

My question is this: should I remove the cyphastrea and sunset monti and put into my 40b, before they get too attached, and just get a few more RFA and mushrooms and let them take over? The PAR for the bottom part of the scape coming towards the front glass is 110-125 and the middle layer is 130-160. Are there any other corals that would look good there and do well in that PAR range? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
 
My Sexy Shrimp love to jump around on my gorgonians & the gorgs couldn’t care less! They also seem to like my new MiniMaxi Carpet Anemones & Borneman’s anemones (I have a million if anyone wants some lol) and BTAs.

My BTA’s just hang out up at the top of the tank for some reason, which also keeps the clowns up there most of the time. Is it possible to mix RFA with minimaxi carpets or borneman?
 
I have all 3 mixed together with no issues.
I guess I’ll be on the lookout for more anemone and try out a gorgonian and see how it does. It’s a shame they picked at my LPS so much, I originally wanted hammers on the bottom rock work and torches on the middle layer. Not going to waste my money on that now though.

I have a bunch of different mushrooms in my 40b, I’ll move some over and let the process of taking over the rock work start.
