Hi All -

Tomorrow is my birthday and last night my best friends surprised me with some new fish for my 60 gal reef tank. 5 of them!!

1. 4" Dragon Wrasse
2. 3" Singapore Dwarf Angel
3. 1" Blue Dot puffer (I think I've ID'd it correctly)
4. 3" Niger Trigger
5. 5" HumuHumu Trigger

ARGH! Apparently the LFS told them these would all live happily in a community reef. Being in an awkward position I had to put some of them into my tank... so in we 1, 2, 3 in the list.. I had to draw the line on the triggers (much to their dissapointment). So far so good... everything seems ok.

I currently have a 4" DuskyWrass, Maroon clown hosting LTA, a pair anthias and some damsels and cleaner shrimp.

I'm going to go back to the fish store today with the two triggers and have a word with them. Obviously every single fish in the list is a questionable member of a reeftank...but even if that weren't the case.. introducing 5 fish at once is nuts all on its own. What were they thinking??? Advice anyone? Fish related, LFS, etc...
