Not for nothing, but you may want to rethink that camel shrimp if you decide on keeping corals.

 

*edit* 

Oh, and congrats on your first tank!

Planning on clown (defintely). Maybe firefish or Yellow clown goby as well. Currently I am going fishless as I lost my clowns to Brook's disease. Day # 48.

My Duncan coral has started hosting the clownfish. I got this Duncan around 6 months back from LFS. It had one head then. It has approximately 7 heads now and has grown big. Super happy.

I went to Petco yesterday to pick up some snails. The associate in the aquatic section had no idea about marine life. I saw couple of tail spot blennies. I asked him if they are Tail spot blenny. He said that he will get the labels. He got 2 labels. One for Tail spot Blenny and one for shrimp Goby. He put the Shrimp goby label on TSB and vice-versa. When I corrected him, he said that the supplier told him so. So he ended up marking TSB for 14.99 instead of 29.99. 

I bought one TSB. Could resist it at that price.

In the melee, forgot to buy the snails.
