Something else I just remembered. A cleaner wrasse will go after the Puffers slime coating and pick at the poor thing till it turns its belly black (till the Puffer eats it). Had that happen one time and had to get the wrasse out as the poor Puffer was in dire problems from being picked at day and night. Cleaners tend to do this to the Dogfaces as they are smooth skinned and their slime coat is tasty to the wrasse.

id scratch the angel as they need top notch water conditions, and agressive fishes messy feeding will offset the water. when you say ghost eel, i assume you are talking about the ghost ribbon, STAY AWAY FROM THESE! 99.99% of these do not eat in captivity and will slowly perish. most all other eels are very hardy though. bo
 
Grouperhead: thanks for that info because that was my next buy. Now that you mention it I never saw an adult ghost in any lfs.

In place of the angel you could add a panther grouper or a Comet both IMO are attractive aggressive fish.
