First saltwater tank

[Carapar]

Ok so this is my first salt water tank. It's been set up for about 3 weeks and currently only has 1 blue leg hermit and a turbo snail and a small diatom bloom I was wondering what I should get as a first fish (its a 26 gallon) I was thinking of getting some blue reef chromis (2) and possibly a zoanthid colony.

Hi. I was thinking of buying 2 blue reef chromis on Saturday. Would they be ok together? Because I've heard that chromis will kill each other?

You have to feed them several times a day so that they wont kill each other. I didn't know that when I bought 9 last year and now I am left with 2.

i've read that having chromis in odd numbers is important, i have 3 and they are doing very well
