[game misconduct]

can a coralife32kit realistically house a single pair of adult percula clowns ? the tank will be a gift to me so i cant really go with the bigger is always better way of thinking .only planning to house a percula pair with live rock.

If you mean a 32 gallon Biocube, yes, absolutely you can house a pair of Percs. You will also be able to add a few other fish that stay fairly small.

yeah the biocube thanks for the reply i may add a few hermits to scavenge .nonono other fish i will end p with a big display tank again

I agree with griss, it can absolutely house a pair (I have one currently with a pair and mostly anemones and green star polyps).

BTAs can (and usually will) multiply like crazy, but if it’s the only thing (no other corals), then I don’t see an issue (but again mine has around 15 or so BTAs in it) plus you can always sell some off as they multiply. The issue you may run into (if you want anemones) is many other types (if given the opportunity) will get too large for the 32, such as carpets and magnifica.

They will if you consistently feed them.
Just light, and, not so much.

I’d throw a Royal Gramma in with the pair.

They will find their spot, and the Gramma, has/her cave.

Enjoy
