with corals its up to you, but i can give you a few ideas, like


1 tank raised clownfish
1 goby
1 cleaner shrimp, or coral banded shrimp
3 hermit crabs
various corals

or

1 yellow tail, or domino damsel (for example)
cleaner, or coral banded shrimp
4 hermit crabs
various corals

or

1 firefish
various corals
5 hermit crabs
fire shrimp


a invert i really love is my arrow crab. he gets along with everyone and eats anything. he eats all of my bristleworms, and eats all of that ugly algae that builds up on the bottom. plus, hes a cool conversation piece, since he has those really skinny legs and triangular head and looks like a big spider


EDIT- one thing i forgot, are you going with a full 15lbs LR? if not get only 1 or 2 hermits since they will starve, they eat algae on the LR

I'm thinking of going with 16 pounds from liveaquaria.com
it seems interesting because its a mix of rock from different places. plus with shipping its $92.23, and my lfs would charge 127 for the same amount,

[cocoa_pleco]

with 16lbs LR you should be fine with about 3-5 hermits

What cocoa listed is about it. I have a clown and a purple firefish in my 10 gallon and I love it.

congrats on the new tank....i can't wait to see some pics of it all set up ad running. lol.

[cocoa_pleco]

clownfish and firefish are a good combo, both are peaceful

12gallons is way too small for an anemone isnt it

lol, dont go for anemones. they need at least a 55g, and 10w/g lighting, and PERFECT water conditions.

for a start, go with easy to care corals like mushrooms and brain corals and zooanthids. later on you can get nice hard to care for ones.
