What to do

[sjkarrow87]

My current tank is 48x18x16 and is stocked full of coral. I am sick of the reef fish kind of boring me, and am trying to think of a predator type fish that would be enjoyable.

My current stock list is:
1 ocellaris clown
1 blue damsel
1 purple stripe dottyback

Coral:
Torch
Frogspaw
Assorted Zoas
Mushroom
Leather Toadstool
Colt
Montipora
Fox

are there any fish that are predator that would be fine with my corals? or am in the situation of one or the other??? was hoping either a lion or puffer would work but was hoping for others suggestions.

Thanks-Steve

You could do a lion. I would suggest a dwarf species because the tank just isn't large enough for a full size one. Depending on the species you get the rest of your fish may be dinner. The puffer would probably take out most of the coral.

i would get rid of all my fish, i am hoping to keep the corals seeing that they have grown from frags pretty much... i was thinkin either dwarf lionfish, some type of trigger fish or getting a mantis
