About the Cover
One of the greatest challenges in reefkeeping is knowing which fish and invertebrates can live together in harmony, and this challenge is only amplified in a nano setting. The 10-gallon nano reef on this month’s cover features a range of large-polyp stony corals, soft corals, and gorgonians. For more on this tank visit the TFH Extras blog at tfhmagazine.com, and to learn more about how to set up a perfect coral garden of your own, check out “Going Nano” from one of our expert reefkeepers, Bob Fenner (p. 50).

Tip of the Month:
The number of eggs a female fish produces is related to the amount of parental care given? A cod might shed several million eggs in a single spawning, leaving them to disperse in the open ocean, while a cichlid that broods her eggs in her mouth and cares for the fry after hatching may produce only a half dozen per clutch.
