for those of you wondering... i took out my yellow tang. and this goby killed the other two so now only 1. But now that there is only one he is out a lot, he used to always hid in the rocks with the others. So in the tank i have 1 firefish goby, 3 bangaii cardinals, 1 blue hippo tang, 1 royal gramma, 1 fiji foxface, 1 toadstool leather coral, 1 torch coral, 1 orange carnation coral, 1 huge sally lightfoot, 1 coral banded shrimp, and 1 skunk shrimp.

Rare is a relative term.
Something that does not occur to hobbyist, especially our uptight green types, is that if you visit the areas where most of these aquarium fish originate you are as likely to find them in peoples bait buckets as you are an aquarium.
I am sure the phrase, "stupid American would give me five hundred dollars for my bait bucket" gets uttered on a daily bases in some parts of the world
Keep that in mind the next time someone chastise you or you are tempted to criticise someone else for some perceived error in tank husbandry or stocking.

absolutely false.
laxplaya is completely overstocked and has been told many times
he has no natural algae growing on his rock, so the foxface is in deep trouble. this tank is way too new to have such a bioload and two 90% herbivores in it not to mention too small for a foxface or a blue hippo, let alone both of them.
oh, i also got iodine
why did you get iodine? are you testing for it?
