Is this a good choice of fish for a 30 gallon marine tank?

Question

1. A blue Saphire Damselfish

2. An ocellaris clownfish(my mom said I can get only one)

4. a brittle sea star, fancy

5. 1 yellow clown goby

Answer 1

Yea that sounds good

Answer 2

yes.  If thats what you want.

Answer 3

Looks like a nice little community,  just watch the blue saphire damselfish. They can be a little aggressive.  Having said that, I have one that is very peaceful, but everyone who sees it says, gee get that out of your tank they are too agressive.  But I personally have never had a problem.

Answer 4

Why not go for two clowns and nix the saphire?

Also, a chocolate chip cannot be kept in a new aquarium.  They need to have an established aquarium.  Also, target fed.  Using a turkey baster full of brine shrimp is the easiest way to feed your starfish or even with sininking foods (make sure some hit the bottom for your star)

Other than that sounds good with room to grow.

Also, watch how many hermits.  The star and hermits will compete for food in this tank.  Usually there is little enough for the starfish let alone two crabs.  Justbecause they are small doesn't mean they don't eat like pigs.

Answer 5

Bright selection.  Keep in mind the Damsel will get more aggressive as it grows larger.  Also, CC Starfish are great additions as long as you will not add in clams or any kind of coral.  good luck.  As for the hermits.  A must with every marine tank.  I would also suggest some snails for glass work.    

Answer 6

Sounds like a great setup.  Make sure to directly feed your Star though, they are omnivores and need meat along with their algae.  I give mine table shrimp and place a little chunk under his foot.  If you don't feed the CCS meat he will take whatever steps necessary to get it.  Usually snails and in rare cases your unsuspecting small fish.  And you can get 10 or more hermit crabs. They do good things.
