lol Ya, not gonna happen. Wrasse and shrimp can do their thing, or I live with it.

Holee, sucks to be you right now
But you don't have my issues, so we're even

Why shrimps ... ? For what purpose I mean ... ?

So you're leaning towards plan A for now ?
I'd go either;
Plan B with a Yellow Coris and/or Melanurus or ...
Plan C as you mentioned something about a Mandarin ?

I have both wrasses, plus a Scooter and Hector's
The Hector's is doing fine (over a year all fish together), but the Scooter is looking a tad thin right now
I don't know if he'll make it, but the wifey won't let me sell him, so I'm trying my best to fatten him back up

So, my point is, if you already have your mind set on a Mandarin, go with plan C and turf those AEFWs now in whatever cruel way you deem fitting

And BTW, I'm baaack
I went straight from XPPro to a shiny new 8.1 system. So I can now play on the web again

I already have a pair of mandarins, so that's that

I'll add a yellow coris, see what that does, and some peps if I can find any. Not overly concerned about it. If I have to move to a non acro SPS tank, I think that could look really cool. So if it goes that way, so be it. Not gonna stress over it. Just a tank. I have more important things to occupy my stress -lol

That's what I was told anyway, but always cool to have shrimps running around, eating bits of food

Or rather, hang around waiting for you to feed the fish, and then steal food from your corals
I have a peppermint, cleaner and fire
All they do is sit around waiting for something to happen. Mind you, the peppermint did eat the aptaisia ... and the cleaner does a good job of freaking out the fish when he tries to clean them LOL

I don't feed corals, so they better not rely on that to eat! No aiptaisa either, so if they want food, eat flatworms!
