Algae acrubbers are indeed a very useful tool but not in the plans for this tank at the moment.

Thanks for the thread. Will be following along.
Dude, I have too many different types to even count and didn't bother trying to see exactly who was going at the most.
No prob

Any updates:worried2:
Not much new, I've been out of the country for the past couple weeks but I did mount a few corals today. If in stock, I hope to have the jawfish in about two weeks.

The tank will see jawfish tomorrow!

Its a real shame but all but two are assumed dead and the two that are still alive aren't eating. Unfortunately, the bag they came in was deflated, smelled awful, and they packed all six (I only ordered 5) in the same relatively small bag. None of them looked good when they went in the tank.
Where did you order from?
I ordered from Sealife Inc, they're a local collector out of Florida and their prices are about half of what yellow heads go for on LA. I also ordered some emerald crabs and anemone shrimp which were each bagged individually and doing fine. Despite this issue this company has been a pleasure to deal with. When they couldn't make my preferred delivery date of last Friday (they were collecting on Thursday) they paid for the extra Saturday delivery fee. Kara with Sealife Inc has been responsive to all my emails and will refund my Paypal for the losses.
Endojoew,
That may be true for blue spots but I’m not sure if it’s the same for pearly/yellow heads. Blue spots live rather solitary lives naturally but pearlies live in colonies. Aggression in the tight confines of a bag may be different though. However, I don’t feel its ever a good idea to bag multiple fish together purely for the fact that if one dies there is a good chance the others will go as well.

I haven't decided yet. I'm going to wait and see how these two do first. Best case scenario, I'll order again from somewhere in about a month.
