Well, I picked up a yellow tang for a great price locally. It sure made a huge difference in my tank. The tang swims all over the place picking at everything in sight and now all the other fish have started to follow his lead. The only one who refuses to budge is the foxface. The leopard wrasses look awsome as well. I called a couple of places and nobody had any in stock. I'll wait a couple of weeks and then try again for one after I see how my tank is handling the bioload. Thank you for all of the ideas, it was a big help!

I saw one of these guys on the week-end and it's a great looking fish but I'm concerned that it may go after my shrimp. The one I saw spent about 5 minutes with his face pressed up against the glass staring at me.

Im always having staring contests with my hawk. Funny fish. Lots of head turning and eye expression but mines not a huge all around the tank swimmer. More of a perch and stare.

A word of warning with Leopard wrasses. they can be difficult to get eating brine shrimp and have been known to starve themselves to death. Make sure your LFS shows you that it is eating otherwise you might loose it.
Shops will loose 3 of every 4 leopard wrasses they get in, so a lot of them don't bother.
Also they can hide in the sand for the first few weeks when you first get them. That's why they are rated a 'difficult' fish to keep.
