New pick up - green polyps

The xenia doesn't need high flow, so if its in direct flow then maybe move it off the the side of the path of flow.

The clown... hmmm I don't if she will lay without a mate... but I suppose its possible, never seen it though. If it does, take the rock out and scrub the eggs off with a brush or scrape it with something, then give it a good rinsing with salt water (not fresh don't want to kill off your BB or anything else by using fresh water). You can probably wait a few days to do this, as she mite eat the eggs if they go unfertalized, but if she doesn't eat them they will eventually rot, and could indeed cause a spike. You could always provoke her into eating them by putting your hand near the eggs, or a feeder stick or something and that mite make her eat them. But no I still wouldn't recomend getting a second one untill upgrading.

Ighty will do I'll update with a pic soon I just moved the Xenia a farther back. Interesting when I turn off the flow they pulse like crazy. I'll be moving the clown fish soon maybe to a 50g with a mate.

Sounds like you just need to slow down buddy. I know the tank looks empty but you can't expect to build a reef tank in a few months, it takes years for a well done fully grown reef to become established. The people to post those pics have put in a lot of time, research, money, and dedication into this hobby but most of all, patience - and that is the result.

Slow down, be patient and you will be much better off.
