I've seen some crazy good looking zoa/paly nano tanks on Nano-reef. Given the low flow requirements and the lighting requirements on zoas, I'm surprised we haven't seen more tanks like this here on Canreef.

Just a suggestion though.

Yellow-horned cowfish (boxfish) get quite large, quite fast...

I recommend a goby / pistol combo...they are fun to watch together and you don't need to feed much so not too much poluting of the tank. I love to watch my pair in my nano.

A yellow box fish needs a minimum of a 90g tank, and they also need pristine and stable water conditions. Ideally the tank should be set up for at least 6 months before adding one.

There are lots of small gobies or blenny's that would be more suitable for your tank size. I personally like clown gobies

Green clown goby


Yellow clown goby


Citron clown goby

I had a green clown goby once, they stay small and mine had a lot of personality. There is also a panda goby which is a bit rarer but pretty cool looking, however I couldn't find a very good pic. of one.
