I need your guys opinion. I want to replace my trigger and I was thinking blue throat but what if I got a harlequin tusk instead? What do you guys think?

Have not seen the harlequin but my vote would be a male blue throat......

 

[shealygg]

I was under the impression that harlequin tusks were not reef safe....am I off base?

 

[druluv]

Tony from http://reefexotics.com/ has one in his tank. It is the coolest thing. He does warn that they will eat any shrimp you put in your tank.

greg what pump do you use for a return?

 

[wrassie86]

Great tank

 

[druluv]

Greg - What setting do you have on your Camera.

 

[GregM779]

Harlequin Tusks aren't reef safe because they eat shrimp but so do triggers.

hckycoz, I use a mag 18

wrassie86, thanks

druluv, On the camera that was stolen I used it at ISO 400 and lowered the light it let in for halide shots. I use the macro setting for closeups.

Come on put a little excitement in your reef life, throw a Long Horned Cowfish, puffer, or lion fish in there.

 

[reefarchitect]

Get another tang, maybe a Tomini or something beautiful like that. Maybe even a Jeweled!

 

[FastUno]

But really I would go for one of the following:
-mystery wrasse
-blue tang or chevron tang
- or potters angel

 

[FastUno]

or a damsel

 

[reefarchitect]

I don't know, but I would think twice before putting another angel in the tank and he already has a beautiful Chevron.

 

[water`bug]

OMG! I'm jealous!

Very stunning, indeed! And btw, great photography, as well.

A wrasse would be awesome. One of the really colorful, REALLY EXPENSIVE ones :lol:

 

[GregM779]

I'm also going to need a fish or 2 to replace my flame angel and GS Maroon that came out last week.
I love wrasses, they're my favorite fish, but have lost 3 to jumping even with eggcrate on the tank.

FastUno, already have a chevron and am kind of leary of putting another angel in. They're are a hard fish to catch if needed. Damsel? Are you serious?

Armando, I was thinking another tang like powder blue if I could find one that looked like Pete's. They had some really pretty Sohals at Coral Sea but I think my tank is too small. Maybe an Eibli Mimic Tang?

Donna, Thank you.

tsquad, are you being sarcastic? Knowing I've already lost my $175 Lineatus and $100 Laboutei to jumping?

 

[tsquad]

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. I didn't know about you losing your Lineatus and Laboutei. I was only mocking the fact that they are so expensive. Beautiful fish though. Sorry about your losses

i am willing to donate a beautiful 1 inch tasmainian french angel. if is easy to feed. really it's not finiky at all......just say the word and hes yours...as a matter of fact im giving a french angel with every chiller repair this week...greg this is truely your lucky day.....jaime

 

[GregM779]

Yeh, I've owned 2 of the most beautiful wrasses I've ever seen and lost them both, I was trying to stay away from them until I built a canopy.
This is a Harlequin Tusk for those who haven't seen one.

 

[GregM779]

I think I'll pass Jaime
