Advice for improving my fish stock

[JohnM99]

Copperband butterflies are not universally reef safe. Do a search on RC and you will find plenty of bad experiences, although some have no problems.

Heniochus diphreutes (sp?) is supposed to be the best of the bannerfish for reefs, but a bit hard to find. I have 2 H. accuminata and they did pick an open brain to death, and nip at clams once in a while. I may kidnap them one day and trade them in.

Royal Gramma is a beautiful and peaceful fish, reef safe. Also check out Watanabei angelfish - one of the few reef safe angels - males are spectacular.

Lawnmower goby is hard not to like.

Powder brown tang is something else to consider. (japonicus, not nigricans)
