Yeah I've heard of them, what about the Cleaner wrasse, which is better for keeping Ick away. What do you know about them, are they hardy, i am tring to keep the easier fish

I second that, go for the shrimp and gobies. If you take away what keeps the reefs alive, then our hobby wont have a future.

skunk cleaners are great for eating paracites (sp) i have 3 in my reef and they do a great job. i would be careful with that many tangs in that little of a tank. (i have a 135) while a 150 sounds huge it is really small for tangs. You may be able to pull it off except for the sailfin and the yellow, they will fight as they have the same genus. i had a pair and they fought constantly till they got ick and killed my tank. The things you learn as a baby reefer.
only other thing is that if you want your clown fish to live in an anenomie (man i can't spell) you may want to consider a non tank raised one. Tank raised i read only have a 1/5 chance of living in one. it can get really annoying.
