How big is the frag tank? I just added a mandrin today and have a yellow tang and three bangii in 100g frag.

Maybe a little yellow goby. I love mine in my nano and he can't be over one inch. Blenny might be tough in that small of a tank. He could run out of stuff to eat if he doesn't eat frozen.

Cmon! Once you go frag, you never go back!

No, I have to look up the name unless some one knows it. It is a little bright yellow goby type with no spots. Maybe a lemon peel? Way tiny but great personality. Let me look. I am a coral guy and not that fish knowledgeable.

Mine just eats mysis....hmmmmmm a herbivore will be hard in a 20 because it should run out of food. I think feeding in a frag tank helps with the corals too.

in a frag tank i usually only see tomini tangs and sixline wrasses. in a 20, i wouldn't suggest the tang though.
