20L to 46 Bow Front Restart

Haha i thing i will build to suit, hes pretty cool, trying to bulk up the cleaning crew, so my hands arnt in the tank as much. But Im aiming for a multiple tank larger than this 46 bow front in the future.
 
The first time i tried raising clowns i waited till the 6 or 7th time they laid and i think i had only 6 survive to sell, but have sence got a routine down to where i have much better luck. It will take a few tries till you find what works for you but youll get the hang of it
 
My arrow crab molted this morning, scared the **** out of me!

Ok took some more pic.s tonight.
Im wondering if my arrow crab is prego, and female, have to wait and see on that one.
Some pictures also of the ruby crab,
Hercule's my huge hermits,
And my clown's Rigby and Mordechi, Yes from the normal show xD my son chose it.
The baby feather dusters theyre getting outrageous, i read theyre a sign of a maturing tank but can withstand alot.
Any way to slow them down?

Update: Just bought a anemone
Female clown is getting extremely chubby around the tummy
nothing new besides the anemone,
Im not sure what kind it was, it was 9.99$ and still small, this picture is right after a 2 hour acclimation

Hard to tell what type of anemone but im gonna guess its a condy which isnt a natural host anemone. Will sometimes host maroon clowns in captivity though.
 
Condy anemone moved off the rock and found a spot under the lights that it likes. Heres a video!
*I also just picked up a leather polyp coral that's the 2nd video of it acclimating!*

Post the video of the anemone in the anemone forum and ask for an id on it. From those spots on it, it almost looks like a lta anemone which does like the sand.

Also that isnt a leather, it is pulsing xenia. Very cool coral and looks like everything is doing good, keep it up
 
Ty ty very much on that ID. It was in a assorted coral tank, which has me kinda ticked i asked for a id before i bought it, and it payed a extra 15 for it! x(
Now i have to fix it on my youtube. I was trying to ID it last night and it looked like some leather polyps i saw.
You might be right on the anemone, also which is good i bought that for 9.99 labeled as a condy when i went back and picked up the xenia and all the other types of anemones where 10-80$.
The people at my LFS, couldnt answer too many of my questions even about pricing.

This is right now last most recent of the xenia move,
It isnt pulsating but than again it just got a new home. I need to check the iodine.

Looks healthy, ive noticed xenia doesnt pulse much unless in lower flow but thats just my experance. I wouldnt worry about checking iodine, if you do regular water changes your iodine will be fine
 
Ty ty I saw that i have alot of flow so i have my hands less in the tank. The clowns bite me sometimes when i stick my hands in lol.
Heres a update video
