Pics of my new Anemone and Clown-only tank - Too much live rock?

[AliKat]

I tried to fill it in with some more live rock, so the anemones can spread out. They've been right on top of each other.

But is this too much live rock? I do want the clowns to spawn one day. Do they need more room near the sand for that?

Thanks for your help!

Hold your horses. Before anybody can begin to answer your questions we need some info about your tank. The #1 question I have from your pics is how long has your tank been setup? I would guess less than 8 months and you are probably 3 months into it?

It's been set up a few months. All of the water, rock, and sand came from an established tank, though.

All water params are looking good. I need to get some snails to clean "house" a bit, but other than that, everything is going well.

No thats not too much rock.

The rock looks fine. It gives the anemones lots of options in finding a spot they like.

Okay, good. Before I just had 3 rocks in there, and the anemones were all on top of each other. I added some extra rock today, a couple of them have already adjusted.

One of them has moved on the underside of a rock. He'll move back out if he needs more light, won't he?

By the way, still trying to figure out what kind of anemone the one in the upper left is. It's green with purple tips. Thought it was a bubble tip, but am unsure. It doesn't have veruccae, and it's foot and base are both green. Just doesn't bubble up and have never seen a BTA with purple tips.

Whatever it is, it sure is pretty! Just don't want it in with my other BTA's if it's not a BTA.

I think they are all BTA's, but if you want an id maybe a closer pic of the anemone in question would help.

He's in a strange spot right now, but I'll do my best. I have a thread up about him, but the picture was taken with my phone so not the best quality.

I have a new digital camera on its way, though!

No, he's definitely not one of those. I've had one of those before!

I'll try to get a better picture up later. He's right on the corner of my tank right now, so it's hard to get a decent shot.
