I think they forgot a 0, likely a 30 gallon tank. But agree, big al isnt giving the best advice in this situation.You have a 3 gallon tank with 2 damsels and a lyre tail anthia plus a sand sifting starfish without the proper sized sand or maturation. I would stop listening to big al's and read up on some very good information members are trying to provide. #reefsquad I would rehome the starfish and the anthia asap.

I have a purple firefish goby is it?@noahg2216 Do you also have a diamond goby (bottom left front corner of your tank)? If so, it is a sand sifter also.
Anthias is already sold it's getting picked up Tuesday,thanks u thoI get it was a typo after doing the math, the lyretail will out grow a 30 in very short time. IMO starfish should be added to a mature tank and will wipe out a small sand bed in a hurry.

Oh it's an orange spotted sandsifter he rearranges my sand all the timeNo, this fish I circled in red....
If you have another fish store close by I'd recommend getting other advice versus Big Al. A sand sifting star and a sand sifting goby in a new tank without the proper sized sand is not a good recommendation to a new reefer.Oh it's an orange spotted sandsifter he rearranges my sand all the time
Thx!Sand sifting starfish can starve in a smaller tank. I’d take it out. I actually took mine to a local aquarium and they adopted it. There’s not enough detritus in the sand to feed it and a sand-sifting fish. I have a diamond goby for my 40g and he keeps my sand clean. Plus a few snails that live in the sand. Ask away here. We all want to help!
Thank u everyone I just brought it back todaySand sifting starfish can starve in a smaller tank. I’d take it out. I actually took mine to a local aquarium and they adopted it.

And yes I bought the all in one test kit for 50$Welcome to R2R!
Nice work on rehoming the anthias and starfish.
The sand sifters can take a few months to starve and disintegrate.
It looks like the remaining fish should do well for now.
Lol, love the colors on the 'jellyfish'.
Have you had a chance to get any test kits yet?
Salt water tanks are more work than fresh water until you get thwm dialed in. Lots of reading.
Feel free to ask lots of questions.
