thanx for the reply, ive added 2 blue leg hermits, 2 scarlet, 1 cleaner shrimp and 3 snails, there is also a brittle star, 3 tiny snails and some other unID'ed critters that came with the LR, something I saw last night was a small very fast round flat thing, i mean very fast. It came out of a cave in the rock and seen me and disapeared in an instant. Ive got 6lbs of that so far. I want to add 1 clown fish. AS far as zoos and polyps and such are concerned is there a limit to the numer of those that should/could be added?

IMO, a 6 is to small for a clown, how about a clown goby or a neon goby?

dont gobys just kinda stick close to bottom and caves where as clowns swim about more? I was thinking i would get a small one and if and when it gets to be about 1.5-2" i would trade it off on another at the FS. I do appreciate your opinion though and will spend some more time trying to find another fish. I figure i have a bout a month before adding a fish. Thanx

Before you add anything else, I think you should make sure you don't have a nasty hitchhiker....

the sexy shrimp will be fine with the cleaner.

the brittle won't do... it'll eat you clown, sounds weird, but my lfs had a
1 inch bursa trigger with a brittle in a 5 gallon, and the trigger was completely healthy, and the brittle ate the trigger at night. all that was left was his head.
frogspawn get to big, it'll take over your tank
mushrooms and some zoos would probably be ok.

pppppffffffftttttttttt(the sound of my little bubble deflating)....So you are saying take the star back to the shop in snuck away from when i go to get my fish then? Ok no frogspawn then. But the ricordeas, they are ok right? And definitely zoos are coming. I must ask 1 thing though....How can you be certain that the trigger didnt die from something else and get eaten by the star when scavenging while the lights were out?

frogspawn is fine. just get a small frag with one or two heads. When it grows you can frag it and trade the frag with your lfs. that's what I did... if you want to pack your tank with a lot of corals then frogspawn wont be a good idea, because it will sting any corals that it touches.

That must have been a HUGE brittle star! lol... how can it catch a fish?
the ricordeas and zoos are fine to have.
