hello again. ok so i finally got my tank all set up. so far i have a 36 gallon bow front w/ 50 ibs of figi live rock, 20 ibs of live sand, 1 turbo snail, 2 false clowns, 1 coral banded shrimp, and something else looks like anemone but now sure??? can u tell me what this thing is? i bought it at petco for like 7 bucks lol. my clowns dont seem to be to fond of it. and is the brown on the live rocks bad? i was hoping to have more purples, greens and reds.. how do i accomplish that?

It appears to be a condy anemone and in my opinion you should have passed on it. Your tank is new, small for a condy, they aren't typical hosts for clowns, it is aggressive and will move...especially if it doesn't like flow, light, etc. The brown are diatoms that are typical in a brand new tank and the reds and purples of coraline will be accomplished with time. Patience is really something to strive for in this hobby and I highly recommend reading on any new livestock before making your next purchase.
