yeah even one percula is too many fish in this tank. they need 30 gallons minimum. maybe a burrowing goby with a pistol shrimp would be better.

Keep 2 things in mind. 1. This is a 7 (yes seven) gallon tank, not too much room for fish! 2. More fish = higher bioload = more unfavorable environment for corals. Thanks for the comments, keep them coming! :-)
