My coral beauty was aggressive until I added a larger fish, that fixed her attitude real fast. I think if you add the CB last, you'll have much better luck.

90% of flames are safe. If they're in a system that doesn't get fed often or there isn't enough live rock for them to graze on, then they are more likely to nip.

oh ok i wasnt sure when they would ship. i know i have a lot of catching up to do on pics when i get a camera. how many snails/gallon do you like to keep? the reason i ask is because since i've been adding fish i have had some algae out break a little i have been changing a little extra water the past couple weeks, and i bought 40 more snails. i have no idea how many i have now probably 30,i bought 60 snails when i set up my new tank in march but they die off from tipping over and crabs.

It should be min 1 for every gallon. for snails. but you could probably double it and it would be fine
