What size tank?

 

[mtlreeffreak]

Sorry my Bad.. 125Gallon Display tank with a 70 Gallon Sump and 30 gallon QT tank

 

[rnscross]

what types of corals do you keep?

 

[mtlreeffreak]

So far just Baby stuff.. A few zoa's Gsp a bubble..

 

[dzfish17]

A trio of lyretail anthias or a royal gramma would definitely add some color.

 

[mtlreeffreak]

Want some Rare stuff..

 

[jt_milstead]

You have a lot of choices. Anthia,Wrasses, some Angels, Basslets etc....

 

[dzfish17]

A yellow or kole tang would work too.

 

[mtlreeffreak]

ya I think i might go with 4-5 lyretail anthias

the yellow tang is nice.. but i see one in every tank lol

check out the Maldives version of the male for the lyretail. I decided on that one over the regular and am really glad I did!

The YT is still one of the nicest looking marine fish even if everybody has one. Have you seen the starki damsel... not very aggressive and looks like a dwarf angel. Its one of my favorite fish.

 

[mtlreeffreak]

dont want ANY damsel lol..

 

[jt_milstead]

If you are going to go with anthia I would QT for sure.The Maldives is usually much prettier, more purplish...

Not rare but I love my yellow coris wrasse. It is always out during the day and doesn't go to sleep real early. Mine glows under MH's but LEDs would he even better.

But you DO need a lid. Mine has jumped twice but luckily I was there to save him both times. He literally jumped over me on to a towel once.

 

[mtlreeffreak]

ill see if i can find a ffew Maldives anthias.. Thank you!

+1 on the yellow coris. Beautiful color, great disposition and a pest eater to boot. You'll need a decent sand bed for nighty night. Also, dare I say, candy basslet?

 

[K916]

a Flame angel would look fab

feed it well so that it doesnt chomp on your corals :rollface:

Maybe a midas blenny? Not too many people have them. They are bright orange, yellow and have some pink and blue accents, oh and they swim like an eel!
