congratulation.. NO3 keep low as possible & tempreture don't swing.
once a week take your grandma cooking knife cop small pcs of prawn (size of the anemone mouth) throw it to the clown fish
clown fish will bring back and feed it.

this puffer depends on your luck, some will nip tube worm and polyps, some won't

its for a 2 feet tank.. issit the rock that is around rm4-6  per kg? i saw at Pet's Family in Taman megah selling those kinda rocks.. looks like this live rocks..

if i want to use those rocks.. i need to clean them first rite? read about few techniques..boiling,drying, water+vinegar ...

what u need is..few life rock that already cured or u need to cure it and some dead coral...most important is the cycle of ur tank..

linckia !!! i like
rclxm9.gif
blue & red color like fake plastic
ya, they are reef safe, algae eater but take meaty food also if u feed them
not easy to keep, did lots of research on this last time but end up didn't buy sweat.gif
if u buy need to let it float on your tank to acclimation to same tempreture 1hrs
after that QT dripping 1-2hrs before put into your tank
most LFS don't proper handle it so need to choose correctly, osmotic shock kills them

just moderate flow will be nice, when u bought it? when u buy what color it is?
tempreture got swing? can maintain constant at 28c? anemone is hard to keep for tank which tempreture swing often.

FOWLR tank just water change will do. have rock scape for the fish to hide and sleep. most fish die because of malnutrition.

may need to dose some cal & carbonate to maintain KH level but should be just very minimum.

white color mean it already loose it's zooxanthellae, remain just base color, hopefully still have some zooxanthellae left and with enough light it will be able to regenerate. u need to feed it more often, twice a week to supplyment it's diet, mince the meat.
