hey if i pay shipping can i get the corals that u dont want?
and i cant think of any aggresive fish that could go in there maybe a very very very small frog fish. i wouldnt ever ever ever put a panther even a 2 incher in anything less then a 50 and even then in a few monthes it would have to get out of there.
so like a frogfish is the only thing i can think of but u would have to get it out of there soon like a year or so probly once it hits 4 inches.
thanks
nate

sure but thats if i do go into the aggresive side and get out of the reef side. im kind of tired of the reef. you hafe to go to the store by the corals for 30 or more bucks and then i bring them home and some die then aventually they die and you hafe to go back spend some more money just for 1 coral.
pisses me off but thats why i wanna go into the aggresive side not sooo much hastle jjust stick a few rocks in there make a little cave for a eel or whatever and there no corals but i dont mind going back to the store a few months later for another small fish when it grows out know what I mean just stresses me out alot.

welp, unfortunately, any lion is out of the question, theres just not enough room. As for the snowflake eel...... ehhh if hes really tiny like 4 inch or so, he could do alright for a while but its still iffy... they get pretty big with time. the only other thing i could think of that might be ok would be some sort of small wrasse.. like a six line or something. Although there not quite as agressive... they are carnivores

yeah, you could PROBABLY do that. I would still recommend finding one thats in the 4-6 inch range tho.. they grow quickly.

I no rocks so it can hide i got all that got the live sand mabey a few corals hear and there like 2 cause i got the xenia stuck to the rock already do you think that well harm it?

as long as you have at least 15-20lbs or more with plenty of caves and what not, you should be fine.. and if your asking if the xenia will be fine with the SF eel, yes he will be fine
