My Coral Beauty..... I had no problems with him for months. But then last week he decided that he no longer wanted to be reef-safe and started niping at my leather and polyps to the point that they would no longer stay open. So I got rid of him yesterday. I traded him for 3 chromis.

Scotts wrasse. They are shape changers I tell you The darn thing figured out how to jump through the crate cover and land on the middle glass of the tank.

For us the fish that never seemed to "fly" were tangs (both hippo and yellow). Just agressive and we are now liking the idea of many smaller fish rether than a few big ones. It's cool to see them go in and out of the rocks in the reef. Can anyone comment on sally lightfoot crabs??THanks

Could be frightening to me as a newbie -- except most of that stuff has already happened to me just in the past year!

Sand Sifting Crabs (from here). Put them in, they burried down, everything was great...I was thinking to myself "ok, this is going to be the cleanest sand bed in history!"
Left the next morning for a trip, came back, and it was like a crab leg salad had been dropped in my tank. I guess my Snowflake Eel liked hunting them under the sand...they lasted about 24 hours...out of five, all were gone when I came back.
On the flip side, at least the eel was not hungry when I was gone.
You live and learn.
