I just switched my 26 gallon from freshwater to salt water and it is cycling now. I would enjoy any input and recommendations on which clowns to put in and with what anemone. I have 22 lbs or LR and I plan to have only a pair of clowns in the tank.

It has now in the tank:
150w Orbit fixture with lunar lights(white and blue).
1 blood shrimp
12 hermit crabs
1 six line wrasse(I just found him in my 55 reef filter after losing him for about a month or so. He will come out after cycle ends)

Thank you for any input and pictures if available.
 
Personally I've always liked tomato clowns. Hopefully someone can chime in as to how well a pair of Tomato's will do in a 26, but they'd love a BTA.

Make sure you wait at least 6 months before you add an anemone.
 
Never kept tomatoes, but did keep a WC A. melanopus w/RBTA in a 20 briefly. The fish's behavior was very well suited for small tank .... I swear this guy wouldn't stray more than 2" from the anemone. However, once I added a potential mate all hell broke loose and i had to move them to a 55. I think that members of the tomato complex, unless kept alone, should be kept in larger tanks.

Later I got a pair of TR occelaris to peacfully host the same bta in the same 20g.....
