Reef Stockin Questions?

My first question is has anyone had experience with the Atlantic Blue Tang. They seem really cool and I would really like to get one. They seem to be hardy according to websites.

Next, I wanted to get a longnose hawkfish and a Red Sea Fan Gorgonian for it. Are they difficult to keep? I have metal halides so would that burn it?

Next, How hard are Bubble Tip anemones to keep. I wanted to get one for my pair of Ocellaris Clowns.

And lastly what supplements do I need to get to keep corals like, anemones, sea fans, leathers, mushrooms, etc.

Thank you,
Ryan

anenomes need to be hand fed twice a week with a piece of fish or raw shrimp

for corals feed twice a week in the water--cyclopeeze--it comes in powder form or in the frozen stick--I vary it

Leathers and mushrooms do well in med to low light and med to low flow.
