    I have a flame and a coral beauty in my reef tank and they don't bother anything. It is a 90 and I also have 2 chromis, going to add more, 2 Perc. clowns, 1 cinnamon clown, 1 neon damsel, 2 cleaner gobies, 1 Molly, I did my research there. Inverts would be 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 coral Banded Shrimp, 1 Carpet anemone, 1 Pink Tip Bubble Tip anemone, and a feather duster. Corals are Green star polyps, Bullseye mushrooms, crown leather, toadstool leather, xenia, tons of different zoas and mushrooms. I'd say my tank is about to its max but there are still a couple small fish that I wouldn't mind getting later like a firefish or 2, or even a basslett.

    Sounds cool!!! I think I'll just stick to zoas and shrooms and do this....

    1 yellow tang
    1 nigger trigger
    1 purple fire fish
    2 occ. clowns
    1 pajama cardinal
    1 chalk bass
    1 wrasse of some sort
    1 flame angel

    Or go reef and...

    1 yellow tang
    1 six line wrasse
    1 chalk bass
    1 purple fire fish
    1 pajama cardinal
    2 occ. clowns
    1 YWG
    3 chromis

    The whole reef vs. fowlr thing will depend on money for a light. I'm split!!

    The trigger will get to large and IMO they grow pretty fast. They are quite aggressive in my experience

    Alright no-go on the trigger. Are angels known to nip at shrooms and zoas or just Lps?
