I am looking for some advice.  I've had my 14 Gallon Biocube for about 2 years and it's been thriving and healthy.  1 month ago, my 5 head frogspawn exploded... yes, exploded over night and killed almost everything in my tank.  Nobody can tell me what happened, but it happened.  My Duncan coral and a small patch of zoas were the only things that survived.  The Duncan is slowly growing fingers back from the incident... However, the tank is "happy" again, but it's bare.

I was hoping the group here can suggest what you would do with this space... I'm not "up to speed" on what the names of all the corals available... but I love color, and wow factor (who doesn't right).  I'm running Ecoxotic LED's... have two clowns, 3 hermits crabs and 1 turbo.  Currently have a small patch of Zoa's and a 12 head Duncan coral.  The clowns seemed to love the cover the frogspawn I had offered... but I'd rather not get another frogspawn (been there done that).

Here is a pic of my tank... it's empty!  Super empty.  Lets fill it!!

Id put a nice yellow leather in the middle and blasto colonies around the base of your rockwork...IA has some nice blastos in stock,  low maintenance, hardy and numerous colours that would pop nice under your leds.

Or

A nem for your clowns....

I would love to have an anemone and clown only tank.....I love watching the clowns hosting anemones but in my sps tank the anemones have never really been a good option for me..... Love to see them tho!!

Yes, this will become a problem.....I have not found most sps tanks to do well when trying to also keep an anemone. I really do enjoy them however....probably one of my fave specimens.

Yea they aren't to expensive, 20-60 usually depending on size. Some stores try to sell them for 99.99 but since they split most hobbiest that have one usually want to sell off clones do to room issues.

I think one would be enough for a 14 gallon cube, would be best to start with a small clone of something if he was going with a nem. Then when it splits sell off the young lol
