Suggestions for a Reef Safe "SHOW" fish

[SantaCruzReefer]

That frogspawn has to be atleast two feet across! Whoah, I cannot believe what Im seeing here, just can't believe it.

What? That's it?!? haha

VERY impressive! I look forward to seeing how my tank grows in in the next few years. I hope it's as nice as yours!

Thanks

Best of luck to you. Please keep me informed on how your tank does. It looks like you are off to a great start. And if you need any advice, I would certainly try to help you any way I can. That's what I'm here for.

I think any foxface/ rabbitfish will make a nice showfish for you as mentioned before. The fact that these fish are almost bulletproof is a bonus!

BTW, beautiful tank!

Thanks BradleyJ, I may take you up on that.

Thanks Kingfisher, I like the rabbitfish, but had a bad experience with one, so I'm shying away from them. If I'm going to take a chance, I may as well take it with an angel

What happened , did you get stung?

 

[Matt Dean]

No, it almost killed a gorgeous brain and nipped at a few other corals. Otherwise, i really like the rabbitfish.

Hey SDguy,

Yes, I looked at the genicanthus angels. I found them kind of bland and boring - compared to the larger angels, of course. there is one male that I would consider, but finding one has proved to be more than a challenge.

I amy still pursue that, though.

thanks for the input!

Have you considered the watanabei angels? Very very pretty, IMO.

 

[Matt Dean]

Yes, I looked at those, but I liked the female Bellus Angel better.

I think I may wait a year to let all my colonies grow and establish themselves then try a Regal Angel. If it picks on something then, the colony should be able to heal itself better.

bradleyj and matt you guys have some pretty amazing tanks i also have a regal in my 200 sps only

 

[Matt Dean]

Thanks. Any pics? Always love to see other tanks, especially a nice big one like yours. It's killing me going back and forth between risking a Regal Angel and playing it safe with the Bellus. It would kill me to lose a bunch of zoos or favites. I have some nice ones:bum:
