    nice fish, the sixlines are usually pretty tough, i would try and get a decent sized one though, are those puffers reef safe?

    my puffer has never touched my corals or the puffer in my fathers tank. but i have read people sites where people complain their puffer picks at there leathers(most of those people decide they like the fish better then the leather). but i consider it reef safe

    Thanks for all of the suggestions guys.

    Should have mentioned earlier that I have crabs and shrimp so unfortunately puffers are out (nice fish though).

    I know that angels can be aggressive but if a young one is last added to the tank would this still be such an issue?

    Depends on the fish! I have a Royal Gramma that's aggressive to everything else in the tank, even nips at snails and hermit crabs and head butts my corals.

    That sounds like one screwed up fish! Maybe you need to drop some valium into the tank every now and then. Mellow him out a bit;D

    I'm a big fan of Solar Wrasse, or maybe a Potters angel

    Most anthias have harem, but the sunburst seems to do fine by themselves without loosing colors or markings.
