I have triggers (humu & niger) with my anemones without any problems and even my puffer too. Going on 2 1/2 years. Condy. and long tentacles.

Second picture is a type of sponge I have seen them before and to get rid of Valonia I use a Blue spotted sharp nose puffer. They love the stuff. I keep some Valonia growing in my refug. and give him some every once in awhile as a treat. It never last more than a few seconds once he spots it.

Yes I keep a 8" panther in with a 14" yellowhead moray. No problems at all.

I seen a Pompano at the local saltwater store yesterday. Has anyone ever kept one of these. I hear they grow very fast and get around 36". By the looks of them they would need a long tank as it was swimming none stop. Very cool looking though. Thanks for any help.
