Hate to barge in, but I have a serpent star in my 20 and he loves it there. I have to fight the hermits to feed him, but he has finally learned to protect his food. He has been in there for about a year and doing fine. Just make sure that he has a rock or hole to go into.

check out the COTW thread in the reef section. It has the specifics ... was thinking of one for my 20 but don't wantto dose heavy Dt's due to water quality ....

Just out of curiosity . . . could you define "mega dose" I had a maxima in my 20 for about a year, and I too dosed DT's an awful lot. However I could not win the battle with the hair algae so the clam got the boot. I would rather have an algae free tank than a maxima, even though the thing was gorgeous.

Yet another question . . . totally unrelated to thie thread, but I saw that you have an alveopora in your bowfront. Got any tips/suggestions/comments on it? I got one today from the damaged coral bin for 12 bucks and am concerned about its placement in my tank.
