Your Favorite Fish?

Angels may turn to your lps corals for snacks... given enough time, they are probable to do so.

I have two favorites. My pink barred shrimp gobie who was a blast to watch with his little pistol shrimp buddy until the pistol shrimp died of old alge. Now he lives in "da big tank" and has adopted a serpent star! He comes out of his hidey hole, grabs food and spits it back into his hole. I can just imagine him thinking, " ok where did all that food go?" because you know the serpent eates it all! LOL

The other fave in our tank is the longnose butterfly fish. He pals around with the chromis, the clownfishes, and the 6 line wrasse..... he's not choosy who he pals with. He's bright and always on the move. (I think he has ADHD geeze.)

I just lost my red banded shrimp for no apparent reason. I found his body under a rock with my bristle star. The star wouldn't kill a shrimp would it? I had this shrimp for around 7 months. I also had an anemone that was doing great for a week and then one morning there was only a small portion of remains where I can only suppose my fish had eaten him. I had seen him that night attached to LR flowing in the water, and the next morning.....devoured. Does that make any sense. I'm starting to get frustrated. Maybe I should stick to a LR and Fish only tank.

Here is a link from ebay. Wasnt my first coral but I did buy this one from this guy. Been in the tank since 1 week March and it has doubled it's size. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...E:B:SS:US:1123
And it is only starting at 5 bucks =p
I hear that most Acropora fairly easy to keep. (Provided you have the right lights.)

Thanks Grue. Unfortunately I only have 3 watts per gallon and not enough flow. I'm looking at upgrading to some T5's. I'm running power compacts right now.

My faves are my shrimp. I enjoyed my cleaner shrimp so much I bought him/her a buddy. They are friendly and play openly all over the reef. I went out a few mos. later and got a Fire shrimp who is shyer but amazingly beautiful + comes out to play and eat etc. All do clean the fishies and I do believe that they keep them free of parasites etc.
As for fish - I enjoy the Tomato Clown (bit territorial but cool and beautiful) Also the Pinkspotted Shrimp Goby - (Cryptocentrus leptocephalus is great (1 yr. old and cool) also the Lawnmower Blenny - (Salarias fasciatus) is whacky and interesting. I'm Looking forward to getting a Hippo tang. Good luck + enjoy.
