    I dont think they ever expect to sell those fish. otherwise, they are a PITa to get out.

    Me either. My LFS has a couple fish in the coral show tanks, but won't sell them. I really wanted the ultra-awesome melanurus wrasse they had in the SPS/frag tank, but no dice.

    I imagine they'd usually keep tangs and flatworm-eating wrasses in the coral tanks, for fairly obvious reasons.

    Well, it's an unusual selection, that's for sure. The damsels aren't exactly needed in there lol. It's not unusual to have fish in the coral tank, though.

    Weren't you referring to the size of that tang in the small tank, with little room to move around? ::)
