So far so good. Both corals did not sting each other.

Ok, that's good. Both looked very healthy although they seem very near to hit each other.

You can get tuxedo urchins. Had both and find the urchin cleans up rocks much better. Both urchins and hermits will wonder about and knock down stuffs, so make sure you firmly glue down your prized frags/corals before introducing them

Astrea, margarita snails, red-legged scarlet hermits are good too.

Take good care of the clam. Mine died and it stunk up the tank. No more clams for me. Anyway, get a algae goby to clean up your hair algae. They are hardworking workers. My yellow shoulder tang picks on algae too.

I bought a small seahare but seem like not interested on hair algae.Anyway hair algae now slowly disappear.I think most importance good water parameter and lighting inable to keep clam alive.

I hv started putting in sps frags abt 3 mth ago.All my sps frags rise from 1.5-2 inchs.I hv spent alot of effort and $$$ just to keep them alive.Below are some of my sps frags picture.I dnt hv a very good camera so cant take a very clear shoot.

Bought this montipora colony 2 weeks back ,went back home happly found out all branch broke off from the base.I sold off the big branch and epoxy back the small branch back to the base.
