heres the list I wanted when i started this thread. Ive changed my mind ab the tang and flame. I want to get a Mystery Wrasse. Would all these fish get along? Ive changed my mind bc I dont want to take the chance of the flame nipping my corals. What are ya"lls thoughts on this?

I have a peppermint now, didnt really wont shrimp but I was told they would eat my aiptasia but they havent even touched one yet. I have small ones and large ones. Just used Aiptasia-X by Red Sea on them to see how it works. I couldnt find joes juice at my LFS. Its says its reefsafe, but we will see. Thanks for the help TeresaQ

I think I would do the wrasse next to last with the mandrin being last. The mandrine last because they need an established pod population.

Figured the one I want the most would be almost last.
Yea we are gonna wait a year or so before we add the mandrine.

If you wanted an angel the Flame Angel was a good choice. Most dwarf angels have at least a favorable success rate in reef tanks. It might not be most of the time but I would say they do well (without nipping) more than half of the time. You might be able to work out a deal with your local fish store that you buy one, if it nips corals you bring it back and exchange until you get one that works. I had one in my 55 reef for a long time without trouble, I also have one in my 220 gallon with softies (just a few mushrooms and such) and it has also never nipped at them. So as of right now I am two for two on reef safe Flames.

I would stick with just the mystery wrasse as your show fish...They are sold small but they grow into really a nice sized fish...
