I hope I got this right, but I just wanted to share an image of my new Tomato Clownfish. I have seen dozens and dozens of tomato's and this is the first time I've ever seen one with a unique marking.

Nice clown...is that a cinnamon clown ? I had one and had to return it...one mean son of a gun.

No, its a Tomato, Im able to tell by the deep red in him. The little guy just happened to have a unique marking on him when I found him at the store. He has adapted very well to my fish only tank.

If you eventually get an anemone (after 6-9 months)...I would recommend a bubble tip anemone (tank raised if you can). You'll just sit there for hours looking at it !

Cool, thanks for the advice. I was wondering if the transition from a fish only to a reef tank would be hard. Also, are anemonies only able to survive in a reef tank?

I think you need to plan what type of corals you want to keep. Most start off with softies and lps...then graduate to sps. Of course you'll need lr and ls, sump, and a good skimmer. Checkout craiglist for good deals.
I don't know what type of lighting you have, but I would highly recommend T5's. I have a aquatinics TX5 (5x54 watt) over my 75 gal.
Checkout Scotslights.com for some score deals on slightly blemished tek & aquatinic fixtures. I think a similiar setup like mine in a 36" would be plenty.
Anemones do not have to be in a reef tank only, but do require good light/flow to survive.
My avatar has a pic' of a rbta I've had for over 1 1/2 years. It was 3" when I got it from a fellow hobbyist and has split 5 times !
