cool let me know when you caught it!

I am not aware of any wrasses that aren't coral safe however many will eat your snails & hermit crabs especially once they reach maturity.

I only have some really big snails and an urchin, and not worried about the snails.as far as do not touch my corals and BTAs I am good.

the only problem is my light is 3" above my tank ans I have to figure out how to cover the sides and the front!

Just get a screen cover for your tank, lowes in new west sells th window frames for about $18 bucks then you need some mesh, was at Jl yesterday and saw a few nice fairy wrasses, golden head and a few others....

Get a screen cover first tho or a glass lid, text me if you need help building one....

Nothing like waking up to a $60 wrasse on the floor dried up like fried banana!

Thanks Chris, I'll check home depot to see what could I get.

Get a glass top, minimum loss of light penetration and best of all, will vastly reduce the massive evaporation that you will soon get going into the summer months. If you're running an open sump, I wouldn't worry about gas exchange

I don't have sump at all! where could I get glass? will home depot cut for me?

[arash53]

Could I use this a lid?

if you're not running an open sump, I'd advise against using glass or that plexiglass from home depot. Your tank can't breathe, and will get too hot under the MH light you're using. With the hot weather coming, you will probably need to run a fan over the water's surface.
Just use some chicken wire netting available at most feed or agriculture stores, or check King Ed Pets for a critter screen that they use for lizards etc.
