I would not recommend one. Pistol shrimp can be aggressive and in a tank that small it would just be a matter of time before other inverts start to vanish.

I'd put money on the purple tip, but have you considered a possible hitch-hiker... mantis or gorilla crab?

What chiller would y'all recommend for a 30 tall. This is my first chiller and I really have no idea about the 1/15, 1/10.... All info appreciated. The tank gets up to 83, dang ole south Louisiana.

Sea hare.

Your tank is too small for a sand sifting star. It will eat all of the micro-fauna in your sandbed and then starve. The algae you are describing sounds like diatoms. They are common in new tanks and will go away with time. Increasing flow may speed up this process. The nass. snails are...

That's a pretty risky maneuver, but I think it really depends on the individual fish. I tried adding a bi-color to my 150, my flame immediately declared war. I've seen it work, just keep a close eye on them if you try.

Green brittle stars will hunt out and eat healthy fish. If it is not a green brittle, something was more than likely wrong with the fish.

Just a heads up, it's not quite as cute when it gets big and you come home to a lake in the den.

Ask your LFS for the names of local reef clubs. Local clubs are great for trading fish and frags. Read up on fish before you get them, lunare wrasses are pretty aggressive and get fairly large.

My clowns share a large(about 8-9 inches across) gbta with porcelain, no problems. If the anemone is big enough there should not be a problem. Horseshoe crabs get HUGE. I'd go ahead and scratch that off your list. Never had a teddybear but i've heard they can be quite aggressive.

I have a red corris and a lunar in a 150 with no problems, think i got pretty lucky though.

That's a pretty broad question but reading the stickies in the "new hobbyist" section should help immensely. Since you found the tank I'd recommend testing it for copper. I'd also return the puffer as it will outgrow your tank, they are messy eaters and a large bio-load on a 55(unless you have...

The philipine tusk are generally cyanide caught, and therefore have a dismal survival rate, hence the low price. Australians will have blue teeth, more blue in the body and a much much higher cost. My LFS will only carry Aussie tusk but I assume they are pretty simliar. Mine is pretty...

The key is to buy a healthy specimen from a LFS that specializes in saltwater fish only, not the *****, petland chain type stores and have a tank that is at least 6 feet. I have a purple, regal, and powder blue in my 150 with no problems. I am lucky in the fact that I have a great LFS that...

In case you did not know, they get huge and ugly(imo).
