i meant bicolor angelfish and I found something to replace it with. I'm replacing it with a one spot foxface so im guessing that is good if there is anything that needs to be added or needs to be replaced just tell me and I am having a anemone, feather duster, and zoas. And also if you think I shouldn't get anything just say so and sorry if I don't get on in a while I have school so ill be most active during the weekends.But I do check every ounce in a while during the week days.

Sure your fish will be fine together. The only thing is I don't recommend the anemone if it doesn't find a spot it likes it will just move around stinging everything and possibly kill your fish too. Also the orbit lights are good for soft corals, lps and very few sps corals and only in shallow tanks so basically alone your light can support an anemone. But if you want an anemone look you could look at hammer coral, torch coral, frog spawn, and elegance coral which can be hard to keep alive.

ok so it can handle the anemone plus all the others that you mentioned and yet it is still going to do well with the other fish.

sorry I meant the orbit cant support an anemone and no there's no guarantee the anemone will cooperate and not kill and or sting your other fish and coral.

Sorry to be off topic OP but trigger40, Rhinecanthus aculeatus, Humu trigger also goes by humu humu trigger, Picasso trigger and water pig trigger in it's native Hawaiian tongue and is found in less spots then it's cousin.

It's cousin you mentioned, Rhinecanthus rectangulus or umu Rectangle Triggerfish, also known as the Rectangular Triggerfish, Wedge-tailed Trigger, or the V-line Humuhumunukunukuapuaa in native Hawaiian tongue and it's found all over the world. Two complete different fish although similar.

Mauler, that's true. Probably 90 percent of triggers will mess with lionfish however i have not seen my old blue throat trigger mess with it. Their personalities are like humans. Wait... like puppies lol. Gotta love triggers. :)

i just like to say humu trigger. its easy and sounds better IMO. im try to start that up. but the true picasso and hawaii's state fish is the rectangular trigger. but im glad there is someone elso who likes these triggers too.

Lol you are pretty funny.

It's as if I'm trying to convince you a black person is actually very white in color and calling Homo sapiens, homo because you like it better that way. Yea, not going to work. It's scientific name for a reason and unless there was crucial error or fraud involving in it's discovery, it's not going to happen. Sorry.

Also your statement of rectangular trigger being a true piccaso has no merit. Yes, the hawaii's official fish is rectangular trigger but how is it any relevant to this conversation? Google Picasso trigger in google and see what you find in numerous sites. Surely, they all can't be wrong right?
