Yup, no problem. The potters did give chase as he was in first, but flame survived and now they do sometimes hang out together.

  1. Picasso Trigger (has personality & colour!)

OK, here are mine...., I have all of these right now.
1. Copperband - a regal trooper, but swims like he's wearing a skirt
2. Pearlscale Butterflys - marauding devils, beautiful colour pattern
3. Royal Grammas - interesting pair activities
4. Azure Damsel - nice colour, and totally peaceful
5. Yellow Tang - bit of a bully at times, but nice colour

- Magnificent Foxface
- Longnose Hawkfish
- Blonde Naso Tang
- Achilles Tang

- And even though it's an invert, have to mention Peacock Mantis Shrimp:biggrin:

SkunkClown 02-16-2012 02:59 PM

In no particular order. I have all of these.

1) Tomini tang
2) Royal gramma
3) Flame angelfish
4) Bicolor angelfish
5) Skunk clown

I'm quite fond of the bristletooth tangs. I like kole tangs and chevron tangs. I wish chevron tangs retained their juvenile coloration.

Lampshade 02-16-2012 03:50 PM

1) Bariene Tang - Pictures do not do this fish justice
2) Flame Hawkfish - He killed more shrimp than he was worth, but lots of personality
3) Lawnmower Blenny - Uglier than ugly, but saved me from the hair algae outbreak of '10
4) Engineer Goby - They've burried a few frags, but when they come out from the rock they're pretty much a foot long eel that will never hurt a fish. They also turnover the sand under rocks.
5) Copperband Butterfly - I've tried twice, won't again, my tanks too aggressive. Gorgeous fish and I give credit to people who have systems that can handle them.
