they must have lowered the price, hehe
It looks like it's between and Dwarf fuzzy lion and a blue throat trigger (there are other reef compatable triggers, I did research on them about a month ago and wanted Hawaiian black but couldn't find one. They are cool).
Anyway now I have to decide....doh!

blue-throats get to nearly a foot in length.

the triggers in this genus are generally reef safe,also the niger that i have in my reef. the crosshatch are hard to find and expensive, but im getting a pair in the new setup im working on.

Crosshatch are really cool if you can find them, good luck cwgobson :jumping:
I think we will probably go with the Lionfish

Murph did a Pinktail and i have not heard any problems as of yet but in a 90g do the dwarf because triggers get too big, specially since you already have a tang and 3 other fish

Thanks for the reinforcement Blizz75, that is exactly why we are going with the lion.

Anyone know if a Maroon clown and a Zebra Lionfish will get along ok? I know the chart from the 2 Drs. website says that Lionfish and Dwarf Angels are incompatible.

I had a zebra and i would say that mine would have been fine with a maroon. But i wouldnt reccomend getting a zebra as mine died in just a couple of weeks. I had him on frozen and then one day he just refused food and died. Weirdest thing, fuzzies are alot more hardy from what i hear.

yep, dwarf zebras aren't successfully kept as often as the fuzzies. many won't eat, as yours did. as for the compatability, a dwarf angel will be fine with a dwarf lion, as well as the clown, within reason.

I wouldn't put in a bluespot jawfish. There are to many fast moving fish in their. I have a 95gal (just a bit taller than a 90) and I had a bluespot. Whenever my tang, or angel swam over it freaked. I would say something along the size of a wrasse. A blenny would also be an awesome fish to throw in their too.
