Doesn't Doug work in a fish store? If a customer were to come into the store with the same parameters as your tank and asked him the same question you asked, would he not give them the same answer?
You and your darn logic! When I don't get an answer I like I tend to ask for a second opinion

I think it has more to do with not spending money I don't have then how full the tank is.

The red coris was caulky though and would stay in the net with the food, so I scooped him, no stress, no chasing and he was out. Might be worth a try??
Thankfully my red coris has been fairly well behaved (other then eating the odd snail every now and then) so I don't mind him being in the reef.

Thanks everyone for the info on the bird wrasses. It's a 230g fowlr tank so it should be a good fit for them.

Those are cool but very similar to the bursa trigger that I already have in there.

I have a purple tang in my reef. I love crosshatch triggers but they are expensive and not aggressive enough to hold their own against my king angel. I was debating between a banana wrasse or bird wrasse, bananas are pretty but rarely available in Edmonton.

I bet you're right but then I'd have the same problems as I did with the blue line.

Well, it sounds like you're somewhat limited in that regard. It can go either way. The new addition can either be too timid and get beat up by the more aggressive fish, or be too aggressive and end up being top dog. I'm guess this could happen with pretty much any non-reef safe fish that you put in :-)

Ya pretty much. My king angel is pretty good with fish who are under 4" or are shaped different.
