A really good rare fish that is amazing to keep and that swims like an eel is a jack knife fish (other names are: spotted drum fish/ ribbon fish) Check it out on YouTube In terms of coral the first thing you need to know is that they need a ridiculous amount of care including dossing carbon...

Definitely an unhappy carpet worth around £20-35

Just monitor it regularly and check for lack of colour in the polyps

Long nose hawkfish and six line wrass

To add to what you have already I think the best thing is a blue/green chromis or a small dart fish or maby a clown goby.

Good starter corals are Mushroom coral Xenia Star polyps Toadstools Button polyps These are all very easy to keep and don't need particularly bright lighting

How about a candy cane goby or a scooter dragonet maybe even a small pipefish or tiny dart fish

One of my favourite reef fish are leopard wrass and royal gramma if you are looking for any bigger fish I would recommend the following: fireback angelfish, bicolored angelfish, flame angelfish, pacific yellow tang, sail fin tang and the twinspot wrass. All the fish above are able to be added to...

New era flake food is a brilliant nutritious marine flake food that includes all the vitamins and proteins that brine shrimp and small invertebrates have. Even though it's expensive you pay for what you get!

A cleaner wrass is a reef safe non aggressive fish that can pretty much go with any invert.

Damsel fish are pretty hardy and cheap but keep clear of them because they will take over your tank. These are a list of good starter fish: Blue chromis Green chromis Grey chromis Chromis range from about £5-£10. Common clownfish Ocileris clownfish Maroon clownfish Percular clownfish...

As anyone here got a rare reef safe jack knife fish just out of interest?

Tomato clown anemone fish are know to be one of the most aggressive clowns. To get one to calm down I would isolate her and attempt to get her calm by feeding it small portions at a time so that she is dependant on being calm for her next feed.

If the clowns are the only fish in the tank you should be feeding them about two-three times a day. Take one or two flakes in your hand and crush it into small pieces. Do this twice a day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND new era marine flakes.

A big aggressive tang or many a type of fox face puffer even a large damsel.

A beautiful nocturnal fish that hugs the reef is a six line wrass or even try a neon blue goby.

The martial hosts of common, OC and percular clownfish are: Heteractis magnifica Stichodactyla gigantea S. Mertensii

Everyone has their own taste about fish and if they like a certain fish or dislike a certain fish sometimes doesn't depend on looks. I will give you a few kind of fish that I think you are missing ( all the fish that I list are able to be added to your system and shouldn't harm your existing...

WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU IS VERY IMPORTANT! From your water reading I can tell that you have not turned your rock to release the ammonia that has built up underneath for the next week turn your rock every day and at the end of the week aqua-scape your rock and your ammonia should be fine in...

It's not that clear by the picture but it could be yellow star polyps.

Algae snails are a consumer of diatom algae but most of it will go away in time.

Individuals that show signs of being bullied by being out of colour or having ripped fins should be avoided because they are more susceptible to infection. They are small grazers of bubble algae and hair algae and they only take up small territories. The down sides are that any fish that wonder...

A rare and supremely interesting and beautiful hermit crab is the yellow zebra legged hermit crab also scarlet hermit crabs have a nice reddish, maroon colour both of these varieties are rare and hard to get but snap them up whenever you see them. Good luck ( email me fir more info at...

As a anemone is dying you will notice it just flowing with the current much more then usual. It will also loose colour and stop feeding boldly. Also if it is not moving to the best places of flow and light this may show a sign of weakness. If a anemone is doing well you will see that it is...

You could put both fish in the same tank but I would not recommend any more bottom swimming gobies or blennies with your watchman.
