    We got a few damsels today. The tank cycled really well. All the live rock and sand help that along nicely. YAY.

    the Fu manchu is definately a pretty fish. i've recently posted a photo of mine on this site. you will almost definately have to target feed this one. I have heard puffers have a tendancy to nip long fins (may want to check into that) also that they are curious and have been known to land or sit on a lion. the fu manchu stays small, max 3.9" ...keeping that in mind have you thought of a lanturn, honeycomb, papuan or saddled toby? same family as the puffer different genus from the more common spiny or dogface. Thier diet includes small polyped stony corals.

    if you want a lion just make sure you get a "dwarf" species fu manchu is a great choice and they look cool as heck I've seen people keep them in RSM's with no issues before
