Those mini anenomes are pests and you do not want them in your tank. They are more then likely Aiptaisa (do a search on these)

I think this should be in the general reefing forum now that its diversified. Should get lots of help there.

Sry I missed that u had filters as long as there's water movement you will be fine but u will want to ditch the filters ASAP they just end up being nitrate factories but good thing is sometimes you can convert then to reactors of sorts holding carbon and such but they will still need weekly cleaning

yes. maybe more than 1. the water needs to be moving everywhere.

I guess I should have asked what kind/brand of filters are they? HOB type or canister? Do they create movement everywhere? I had a canister filter on my fw that worked like a sump return so no PH was needed

In my 20g sps nano that houses my mandarin & 10yr. old percs has a 500gph power filter, Vortech MP 20, and I have also played with a 1400gph Koralia in there but it may a little bit to large, so may sell it and get a smaller Koralia

You will need an extra heater and powerhead for mixing up water for water changes
