okay im not completly stupid but i want to make my 25 gallon reef tank stand out with movement and color.
so the ideas are:
-colorful corals (check)
-colorful fish (half check)
-movement (half check)

okay the tank has a rock of green star polyps...pink finger leather coral...small colony of yellow colony polyps... to small rocks of mushrooms( red and sage green) and a curlycu anemone and a pink condy.

What the idea of fish are now are my two yellow tail damsels, female clarkii clown, 3 stripe damsel and, strawberry pseudochromis, maybe a yellow watchman goby i dont know. main focus is on corals.

what do you think? :gcool

recheck your fish - all nice fish but not together - a combo of disaster
damsels get big and meaner as they grow, if you want to have damsels in a mixed community chromis types are a better choice - if you want the ones you've selected then stick with only the damsels
clowns and damsels (other then chromis) don't mix in small tanks
pseudochromes are the prettiest little beast you'll ever find - not a good choice at all for a small tank with a mixed batch of fish, too aggressive
YWG - that is a good choice for a mixed community
curly cues are somewhat hardy but not very pretty, condies are pretty but not very hardy
a nice little colorful community similar to the choices you are looking at = a pair of clowns, a YWG, and 3 blue chromis
although there are many others to choose from as well..... do some research ie there are many very pretty wrasses, basslets like the royal gramma, and many gobies to look at
