Hello all, first post and first tank. While I have a bit of experience maintaining other's tanks, this is my first personal tank. Any and all advice is welcome It's 27 gallons(or so I was told), and has a 3 chamber filtration system in the back. Standard cube tank from what I've seen, and I am in love. However, that is literally all the information I have about it. No idea what types of anemone or coral are in it, how old the live rock in it is or even how long the tank was established before it was given to me. I've had it a little over two weeks now, and I'm super pleased with how everything is settling in. The anemone seem relaxed and open, the flow seems about right, the coral is bright and newly polyping, and all the new algae that's developed is a nice deep green color along with the stuff that was there turning from brown to green. I've got a clown(seen in like every pic bc he's super grumpy and always wants to attack me/my phone), a purple and yellow slim guy who's name is escaping me, and a lil goby in there that came with the tank.
What would you say to look out for? Common pitfalls?
What the heck kind of inverts do I have in there
And finally; what would your advice be moving forward? My ideal would be a variety of coral and anemone in with some different clowns to keep them happy. Maybe a sea cucumber to help my goby out, and a shrimp or two while they last. Essentially a reef tank with clown fish that's it's own ecosystem for the most part. What other fish can hang with the clowns while also not being so aggressive they kill them?
Thank you to anyone who made it this far, and extra thanks to those who respond
