Good afternoon! Please help identify the types of sarcophytons:

Determining the species of Sarcophyton is a very difficult task, especially from photographs. Both corals shown in the images are most likely Sarcophyton glaucum, although it is also possible that the second image features Sarcophyton tenuispiculatum.

Dear Ray, will these corals survive in 30 liters if I plan to buy a Premnas anemone? Do they need any special conditions?

I'm not an expert on small aquariums, but 30 liters is VERY little for premnas; you can try to keep an anemone, but only a small one... although I think it won't survive long in such a volume anyway... Sarcophytons can live quite successfully in such an aquarium... until they grow.

Unfortunately, I cannot improve the lives of the clownfish for now – at the moment, I do not have the means to maintain a larger marine aquarium, and my daughter has become attached to the fish. The aquarium was custom-made for me, so the choice of fish was left to the seller. At the same time, I wanted to get them an anemone – they have started to settle in the RODAKTIS. Please advise what to pay attention to when keeping an anemone in such a volume: light, salinity, water cleanliness? And what volume is needed for clownfish?

I repeat once again that I am not an expert on mini-aquariums. I wouldn't plant an anemone in such a small volume in principle... it's too difficult to ensure proper water quality... Maybe someone with practical experience with such aquariums can give you advice...
