verry nice first and foremost!

your mushroom is a green striped mushroom actinodiscus(= discosoma) striata

pulsing zenia

some type of zoanthoid.. cant tell as it is not fully open

and some sort of red tree coral... cant find a spacific Id but it's a start.

I would space out those two coral to make room for growth if nothing else.

and yes I would assume those are baby sea stars

love your nano set up too!

 

[garybuk]

Thanks for the replys yes im very please with my tank soo far (and my nano) how do i go about brakeing them two apart???


Also the purple seems to be fadeing away why?? what can i do to keep the purple ??? i got some purple up shud i use this?

 

[Musho3210]

no dont use purple up.

Those starfish arent babies, thats their adult size. Asterina starfish, they easily breed in captivity and rarely do they harm anything, some of them have been reported to much on corals every once and a while. They can be easy to eradicate if you have a harlequin shrimp, but make sure you have someone else who needs one or someone who can maintain their diet because that is pretty much the only think harlequin shrimp eat.

Thanks! why not use purple up???

whats best way to get the purple to stay its fadeing away allready

 

[Musho3210]

purple up is just alkalinity and calcium, unfortunately, at an unbalanced rate. Ski can explain it better but its a useless product. Time will bring back the purple.

I must add that your stocking choices are pretty bad, especially the tomato and false percula clownfish mix.

whats wroung with my stocking choices??

 

[Musho3210]

you would need a HUGE tank (something like 200-300 gallon +) to be able to mix a pair of two clown species together without having then kill each other, especially with tomato clowns.

They did fight a little at 1st but now they are fine! they have both hosted in there own homes! i no you shudnt mix clowns but i was told it can be done! and im doing it with out any problems so far? maybe when the faulse ones get older?

 

[Musho3210]

Possibly, ah well its not unheard of for it to work, its just rare. Keep an eye on them.

Yup have to agree on the clowns issue, but if there is no agression they should do OK. I tried it in a 5' 100g with no luck. My tomato was just plain mean to the common clowns and ended up me having to split them. As said above just keep an eye on them and have a back up plan for removal of one pair as when it kicks off you will loose fish!
Pic No 6 looks like snake polyps to me
