Active Reef Fish

[jason21]

I am looking for suggestions on active reef fish. Currently, I have 1 Perc, 1 Sailfin Tang, 1 Foxface, 1 marine Catfish and 1 Lunar Wrasse. The tang and foxface have bursts of activity but spend a lot of time in the rock. The clown is always out and the cat and wrasse are rock dwellers as well. I am looking for active daytime swimmers for my 120 gallon reef setup.

You could get another tang, which will make your Salfin VERY active. I have a Yellow tang that hid all the time about 5 years ago. I then put in a purple tang and since then, he is very active. The purple tang perked him up. You could try that. But, they may fight

Anthias or fairy wrasses.

A trio of anthias would add a lot of movement.

i have had problems getting anthias to live in my reef, but is active, fairy wrasse are great swimmers in the reef tank

Your Lunar wrasse ISN't Active?? This is cause for concern! Mine is hyper & he/she is just a baby!

You should get a harlequin tusk. IME they are one of the most active fish i have ever owned and ive never seen any aggression from them

Chromies. You too can have a circus of activity for a mere $30.

Your clean up crew might not appreciate this fish. :rolleye1:

I agree with the anthias or fairy wrasse suggestion. BUT...

I'd remove the lunare wrasse. For rough crowd FOWLR tanks only, IMO. And the coral cat... yikes! Eventually to become a 1ft long vacuum cleaner...

 

[snorvich]

I agree with Peter.

 

[harlequin tusk]

If your cleanup crew is in the tank before the harlequin they would be fine as long as you keep tusk fed. My harlequin lives with about 25 snails, 20 hermits, and 1 giant coral banded shrimp

I'm with Peter, also.
