Good advice from fellow reefers.

You have set yourself up for the most common mistake new reefers make and unfortuneately at the expense of your animals. You are going much to fast. As a rule of thumb you should be adding no more than one fish per month. You should begin with the easier stuff like mushrooms not anenome

Cut back on your bioload by selling as much as you can part with and hopefully your tank will settle.

Get the advice of reefers before you go out a purchase the fish/coral that you are interested in.

Good luck.
