i have a 14 gallon oceanic bio-cube, with all-glass 50 watt heater, keeps the tank at an even 82 degrees, penguin 660 powerhead, which pushes 170 gph, along with varuis airation devises. im looking to get another fish in this tank, possibly a clown, or something like that. anything colorful, and likes it out in the open. it would share the tank with 1 green clown goby, 1 sally lightfoot crab, 2 hermit crabs, 3 snails, and a flame scallop. corals include a colony of large green polyps, and a long tenticle anemone that started from scratch on some liverock, its about half the size of a dime, still no colos, its crystal clear. i got about 15 lbs. of liverock with dosens of caves and hidouts.any suggestion is appreceated, im looking get this within the next week, so anything quick is great, thanks guys and gals!

i am willing to bet that the LTA that you are refering to is an Aiptasia anemone. can you get a pick of it ?? they are also called GLASS (crystal clear) anemones. if it is an Aiptasia, you will want to get rid of it ASAP. a clown would be a nice addition. i would suggest a tank raised percula clown to go with the clown goby.

i will get a pic as soon as possible, its about an inch "tall", about an inch across wide open. its on a rock face, no openings to go into, it has no color, but gets bigger every day, this thing is growing like a weed. the tenticles are clear with white rings every so often. the only color in the trunk is what it eats.
