Chief, I know clowns would work but they're so cliche. A yellow coris wrasse would be cool.

Randy, the blackcap basslet is ok. Not crazy about them though.

I appreciated the suggestions. What else would work?

prattreef · 08-07-2008, 02:37 PM

Bangaii cardinal? Small pygmy angel. (C. argi)? , yellow coris or other smaller Halichoeres wrasse? Is the tank covered? If so, a small flasher or maybe lubbocks fairy wrasse?

What about one of the smaller filefish?

Pipe Fish.

I think the hawk and the Gobies will fight til the death.

Bluestripe Pipefish would be awesome. Good call Chief

Randy, I always wanted a cherub argi. Would they nip at clams or SPS?

Pipefish are very cool. I never kept them before . Is it difficult to get them to take frozen foods?

**Domboski** · 08-07-2008, 02:52 PM

The bluestripes are one of the easier pipefish to get eating frozen mysis IMO. The only issue with them is I haven't seen too many of them offered lately large enough to eat mysis shrimp. If you went that route and couldn't find 4-8" pipefish, you may get stuck feeding BBS until it grew a bit.

I'd say the SPS are safe, the clam might be at risk.

pecan2phat · 08-07-2008, 02:56 PM

Never had a cherub that did not nip on sps polyps.

a small Multi-color angle, Joe can get you one.

how about a hippo tang?

, I heard if you keep up with water changes, you don't even need a skimmer

.

How did the surgery go?

Hippo + purple tang would look great.....good idea I'll get both

Surgery went good but its been a very painful week. Going to be a long recovery.
