Awesome guys
Some great fish listed here!
I'd also love to have Crosshatch Triggers, but want to try and keep shrimp
Also would love either a Dragon Moray or a Berndt's Moray... but I like keeping fish lol
dont worry about the shrimp with triggers...the shrimp (hermits too) will learn to come out at night...my crosshatch doesnt bother them and looks forward to a nice cleaning when just the actinics or moon lights are on..
having said that, some do get picked off from time to time, but that is okay with me, allows the trigs to act like the predator fish they are...try it...introduce the shrimp at night when the lights are all off and fish are asleep...make sure you have lots of rock for them to seek shelter in...

Paulb...are you the one who collected all those tiny blue angels a few years back on long island?
Well, you just have to keep the RIGHT corals & inverts for your Regal. Since it would be my showpiece fish, all sessile inverts would be planned with him/her in mind!
Also, not as bad a coral killer as some Pomacanthids are..

Matthew
PS.
I do not think my hermit crabs learned to come out at night quick enough regarding my crustecean muncher, A Lunare Wrasse. He got everyone though it took him a few weeks. I tried to get LARGER hermits but they are actually hard to find here..

Dorado - but I don't quite have the money for an appropriate sized tank. Second choice would be Regal Angel....

In order:
1. Gem tang
2. Anampses Femininus ( tamarin wrasse)
3. Pair of candy basslets
All are too much $$ for my wife though I think that she's warming up to the wrasse
