My first attempt on Marine

Ok, in the first pic, i think I see a undulated triggerfish. Get him out right away since they are extremely aggresive and it will kill everything in there eventualy. Some might be said of the clown triggerfish but there are at least 50/50. Most people keep undulated in a 55 gallon by themselves. Clown trigger will also need a bigger tank, around 150 gallons or so. Are you planning on upgrading? Even if you are, I would reccomend taking out quite a few fish. What are the dimensions of your 60 gallon? It looks like a 60 high. Take out all the tangs, the blues, yellow, and brown powder . The blue and the yellow need at least a 75 gallon stardard. The Powder Brown Tang needs to have some live rock in there and it also needs a bigger tank. . The foxface might be ok for now, but will need a bigger tank or at least a different dimension tank. The angelfish both need bigger tanks and live rock to graze upon, they are also not reef safe and will nip at your corals and clam. What kind of lighting is on your tank? There looks to be a clam in there, and they need high intensity lighting.
Heres what I would do: Return all fish(including damsels) except the foxface, maroon clown, and the smaller blue tang. Buy about 70 lbs of cured live rock and put into system. Buy a clean up crew of snails and hermits. Your tank is made for corals, IMO and small reef fish. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the expertised advice. I am using MH lighting for the setup. Currently, i am playing with this little tank so that I get to have hands-on on marine before i upgrade to a 150gallons in a few months time.....but currently all these fishes are living in harmony for the last 10days and feeding well. Therefore I may just leave it as it is but I will take out any fishes if the fellow turned out to be very agressive!!
what size tank is this? the two triggers in there are not a good idea especially the clown with a undulated. what is the lighting your clam look's very stressed he needs more light and calcium from the judgement of how he is pulling into his mantle. The leather's look like there really going down hill they could use some extra flow in there. what is the full stock list?

WOW you didn;t research much??
Sorry to say, and not trying to make you mad but
You have more fish in you 60 than I do in my 125
You clam is unhappy and the tangs need WAY more room to swim.
Yes it looks good but your eventually gonna loose alot of those fish..
Those blue tangs are gonna get about 10 " long
You don't have enough live rock!
The angle will start eating your zoos...
4 tangs in a 60??
I have one in my 125
They need a 6 foot tank to swim..
