| Tunicate | 40g Reef Tank Trying to get everything situated with my tank atm, but its coming along nicely My question is, I want to have pretty much just one fish in my reef tank Something pretty that my girls will enjoy watching Currently I have a 3 pack of small Cromies for the breaking in period, but afterward I wanted to have just one fish Any suggestions? Something reef friendly and fairly active. My girls want a tang, but from my readings the tank is a bit small for one of them Thx in advance |

| Scopas Tang  | Re: 40g Reef Tank How long has your tank been up? Is it still cycling? There are a lot of good reef safe fish out there. The tang would not be a good fit as you mentioned. They need lots of room. A pair of clown fish would be nice. A wrasse, royal gramma, a diamond sifter goby. There are a lot to chose from. The Cromies would be nice too.

| Razorback   | Re: 40g Reef Tank Welcome to RS. I think a 75 is small for a tang; so no disagreements there. Clownfish are wonderful, interesting fish. Course I may not be objective there. But they have personality and are easy to care for. Each pair is different - they are individuals. Really a good choice to start with.
