Royal Gramma are territorial but only protect a relatively small territory. Since you have a smallish tank, that fish may be a risk but the others are fine

Ok, maybe I'll just try to get a pair of Bangaiis. I'll do some more research and see if I'm comfortable with the Gramma risk or not.

Thanks again!

Greater chance. Not definitive, however.

How about a Yellow Assessor instead of a Gramma in the 40 breeder?

 

[braidensfish]

And its compatible with everything else in my list?? including the corals and inverts

Well Copper Banded Butterfly fish may or may not be coral safe. Depends on the fish.

 

[braidensfish]

Which one is better in general when it comes to care and coral & invert safe? Copperband? or a Longnose??
Thanks

A long nose hawkfish is an ambush predator that makes it living by eating shrimp and small fish. A copperband butterfly may or may not eat corals, may eat clams, and will definitely eat copepods.

However, since this thread is not designed to be a discussion thread, those type of questions would get more responses in your own thread.

No, not a longnose hawkfish, a longnose butterfly

there are two species of long nosed butterfly, one is completely coral safe, the other is almost totally coral safe. Both are hardier than a CBB. However, I really prefer not to answer piecemeal questions. This thread is designed to have your stocking plan and tank size analyzed for marine fish compatibility. I am not able to go backwards in this thread.

One of those should be fine

In my opinion, your real estate is not sufficient for both.
