Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if it is really okay to put a tomato clown in a nano-reef of 10 gallons.  I'm wondering because I thought tomato clowns grew to be about 5", so I would think that they would be too big to put in a 10 gal tank. I saw a couple 10 gal tanks on the nano-reef website with tomato clowns in them.  Anyways, I was just wondering about that.    *twirlysmiley*

Yes and No. Yes if know how to keep a saltwater tank and plan on getting a bigger home for him later. No if you've never had a saltwater tank and are not planning on keeping him very long. Clowns grow big, but not that fast, so you would have time. But like I said, if you never had a marine tank, I would not recommend it. Maybe a twenty gallon with some live rock/sand and just him for starters. This way you have more room for error correcting. Water quality is extremely important. Your LFS may be able to help you, but then dome say you'll never keep him alive. *crazysmiley*
