If it's for sifting your sandbed, you can try the sand-sifting starfish. Not very difficult to keep IMO.

BTW, your tank does not look like 2x1.5x1.5. I also can't find any overflow from your pics. Are you running filtration with a skimmer?

Nice efforts for a start though. :D

where to get live brine? Any recommended LFS or farms to get it?

Generally, clownfish is not a picky fish and eats like damsels. Shd start eating soon...good luck.

For live brine shrimps, if you stay near Serangoon, i know PetMart at Serangoon Nth carries them quite often. Can give them a call before you go down.

Thanks all bro for ur effort in replying me and helping me out...my true percula clown are eating now...I fed it frozen mysis shrimp just now, and it gobbled everything up... :P But, the smaller one still not really eating, I think it is due to the food being too big for it's mouth...Guess I will get some baby brine shrimp for it... ;)
