So back to your fish. The tang you can keep. Other fish you can get, any type of goby, any type of hawkfish(keep in mind some eat shrimp), any type of blenny, any type of clown, firefish, dwarf angels, and of course damsels. I would stay away from teh angels till your tank has been up for 6...

hmmm. Well he's ok for now. I will give you that but he cannnot stay in that tank forever. How big is he right now? I would suggest privatley finding him a home on this website or others. Taking him back to the lfs he may end up in a smaller tank. I don't remember mentioning this book but...

To do something like this youll ahve to get rid of the live stock in your tank for a month. You could set up a rubber maid tub with a mechanical filter or power heads to stir the water and cure the rock in there. But do not buy bulk and add it all at once.

Crushed coral is just a substrate. After a couple of years of keeping your tank you may run into nitrate problems as the bigger rubble tends to trap more waste in it than the finer sand. I would not waste your money on live sand at this point. Live sand jsut means that it has beneficial...

If you really want to see what they will go after look for a book called marine fishes by michael c scott tell you most anything youll want to know about the fish you can keep in a salt tank.

Im not so sure the puffer will eat either. I know they go after shrimp but i could be wrong. The eel on the other hand shouldn't bother either.

That many fish is doable provided you do a couple of things. One is get 75 lbs of live rock. Two you must mix the fish. Meaning a bottom dweller, rock dweller, some that swim in the rocks, some that stay out front, different shapes, different colors, different temperaments, hell even go so...

Ill second NM Reef. No maximas or croceas. Try a squamosa or derasa preferably a derasa. If you get either you will have to place it mid level or higher. Keep in mind the derasas get big.

The first thing you should do is empty your tank of everything. Then go buy this book. New Marine Aquarium by Michael C Paletta Once you are done reading it try setting up your tank again. Whoever allowed you to put those fish in your tank needs to be shot. Please please return them if you...

make that 2.5 years :)

I would keep anthias seperate. Your tank isn't quite big enough. Angels are in two categories. Dwarf and Regular. Dwarfs have the best chance of NOT eating corals. Most Regulars will and do eat corals. I would look into any tang not shaped like your PB tang. That includes the achilles and...

WPG is a loose guide. It should be followed if you are an inexperience coral keeper. Start easy with mushrooms and zoos. Work your way up to softies and lps if you don't kill the shrooms and zoos. Do not try SPS without extensive reading and planning. I would suggest buying a coral book by...

Thats fine and all but the size of his fish are what get me. That blue face is not meant for anythign smaller than a 125. Juvy or not. let alone a PB tang. I just personally don't see the point of getting a fish if you don't plan on keeping it long term which means longer than 2 years...

One other thing emeralds were not addressed but they have been known to eat corals as well. If they are not supplied with algae sufficiently they will turn to other food sources....

You do know you've overstocked that tank with fish? A PB, 3 angels, and 6 other fish in a 55 is not good for long term care. I'd really recommend getting rid of the Blue Face and PB if you care about their longterm health. Both need a 125 to be healthy. Back to your coral problem...

Your angels eat corals. Which i'm not sure but do some research.

Another picture which shows him much better from the underside. Forgot i had this pic. He was half the size he is now when i took this one.

Yeah im thinking it might be. BangGuy is good at iding these things. Maybe he'll read this thread shortly.

I guess i should add he does have a little tube that comes out when he travels around. A little feeler like a conch might have. Thats why im so confused. He definitely does not have those conch eyes though. I've seen his "skin" pattern as well and its similar to a conches, but like i said no...

With the amount of fish you have cramming them in a 10 might be suicide. Fish can fight off ich on their own. Overfeed them, add some garlic and zoecon, and generally make sure your fish are super happy and it might go away. Just make sure you don't spike your nitrates or other levels in the...
