| Tunicate | Looking for next fish Swapped out my 2 40 gallon tanks for a 125. Looking for a good reefsafe fish for my "centerpiece" so to speak. Presently have a pair of percs, two green chromis and a yellow tang. Have live rock and a few LPS. Would like an intermediate fish with a personality that would be compatible. Dumped the sand and am running bare bottom in the main tank with a DSB, refugium in the sump. Any suggestions?

| Reef Lobster   | I always liked tangs as the centerpiece for a tank your size. Are you looking for a rare fish or just something pretty? Or, instead of one centerpiece fish, you could go with a number of fairy wrasses. These guys have the most beautiful colorations and really make a tank look great. Just some ideas: Naso Tang (my favorite) Sailfin Tang Powder Blue Tang Or your wrasses: Scott's velvet wrasse Mystery Wrasse Carpenter's Flasher wrasse Red Velvet Wrasse etc... Just some ideas... Take er easy Scott T.

| Reef Lobster | Don't get one the same size as your yellow tang. Either smaller or larger is better for keeping the aggression to a minimum. Congrats on the new 125! An anthias is a great fish. But, you might want to wait a bit for your pod population to go up. Don't get a pair, tho' - the males are pretty relentless so if you want females, get at least three. |

for a while mine just swam back and forth, which i found out is a sign he wasnt totally happy, i increased the flow by 700gph and he is happy now, mine wasnt in my fish plan, because, even thou i have a 150g i still think that is a bit small when the LR, sand is taken into account if you are looking for a fish to add color w/o getting huge then tha wrasses are the way to go, but they have some needs also, i wouldnt have an open tank with one, if there is an opening they will find it, trust me they will, but for the color and there personality, i just love them what size fish are you thinking about, and what kind of color, do you have a boby shape you are looking for, long and slinder or tall and stubby  TD | |
