Thank you very much, everyone. I actually did read the article on WWM beforehand, which is what inspired me to get C. talboti, since they were recommended so highly. The article said to allow at least 15 gallons per damsel, so I hoped 6 might be OK. I’ve provided lots of live rock for hiding places and they seem to be co-existing peacefully so far…I will keep an eye on them for any developing territorial conflicts. Re the Sarcophyton elegans, the specimens I have were fragged from a wild-collected specimen about 6 or 8 months ago. So far they seem to be doing well, at least as far as my inexpert eyes can see–polyps out and they’ve grown larger–but I will monitor them carefully. If I decide to go with a biotope I’ll find them another home, since SPS and Alcyoniidae are probably not a safe mix.
