Default Maybe just ONE more fish...

I was about to order a pair of purple urchins for my tank and thought i might like just one more fish.

Currently im running a 125gal. FOWLR with sump, fuge, Euroreef Skimmer, T5 Lighting, i cant remember how many lbs of liverock i have in there but....there's a good bit. lots of big caves and stuff. plenty of swiming room.

Tank is currently stocked with a Black Volitan Lion, Porcupine Puffer, Humu Trigger, Foxface, and LMB. All fish are about 6" except the LMB is about 4.

The Humu is ofcourse the most aggressive. but it only really shows during feeding time.

I was thinking about maybe a Flame Angel....not sure though. What do you guys think i should get? I would like a pretty active playfull fish. The lion just sleeps in his cave all day, till he see's me commin with the silversides ofcourse.

anyways what do you guys think?

The trigger would have probably eaten the urchins.

Really? i have not read anything about that. do they pick at them through the spines or eat the spines themselfs?

Well if that is the case, i need another suggestion for some cleanup crew. i have a graveyard of hermits and snails and a very fat Humu. =)
