Hey. I'm new to marine. My tanks been set up for 3 weeks now. Thought i'd join the forum and say hey!!

2 clown fish
1 purple anenome thing
2 hermits and
2 turbo's

Set up

T5 lights white and blue
Fluval 2 internal filter for mechanical
3-4kg of live rock for filtration
fluval 304 without media for circulation 1000l/hour
1inch of live sand

Does this set up sound ok? Anyone recomend anything?

Wow, looks like a tube anemone, first one I've seeen on these boards. You're gonna have to feed it directly as they're non-photosynthetic (dont need light). Get a turkey baster and squirt some frozen foods at it gently at least 2-3 times a week :)
 
It may just be a feather duster.

would help if you had a better picture of it

Hey. I've been feeding it dry shrimps and also some frozen brine shrimps. He seems to catch alot of them when i'm feeding my clowns so i havent had to directly feed him apart from a few dry shrimps.

Do i need some more live rock for filtration so i can take the mech internal filter out?

Edit: its deff not a feather duster.

One of the first things I've wanted when I began fishkeeping were beadlet anemones. Think the little guys are actually temperate anemones though.
