Iam not sure what kind of rock it is., It just looked kool at the store.
Can you look at everything that I have in the tank & tell me if Iam over loaded I just added the Anemone 2 weeks ago & I just added the mushrooms tonight. I still want to a a Tile StarFish The LFS said it will only get about 1 1/2" round and is Reef safe. What do you think

the starfish will prob starve in your tank. starfish even starve in 200+ gal. tanks.

the anemone I would have waited 8-10 monthes before adding as the tank will be more stable. but looks good right now.

otherwise everything looks great. just make sure the wrasse is eating. they usually eat pods and a 14 gal. tank won't keep enough.

In most cases, the wrass is the one that goes up first to rip apart the brine cube. So Iam guessing he is ok. The guy at the LFS said the Starfish will be ok, but you dont think so ??? He has one in a #29 BioCube with no fish, Just lots of dif coral & a few Sea Horses. I just dont wanta kill the poor guy
