larger reef/invert safe fish??

[dsaundry]

I agree with a Foxface or a Rabbitfish of some type. My wife who was a little hesitant at first, loves our little Foxface..Just make sure you remember the fins are venomous so don't pick it up without gloves...not that you would..

Seems some turn away from the Yellow Tang as common, but it is a really nice looking fish; active , bright yellow, readily available, relatively cheap, reef safe and does well in aquariums (at least long lived).

Due also seriously consider setting up a QT, unless you're sure the fish are problem free (say from a fellow reefer you can trust).

I have a 120 sps tank with 2 tomato clowns that lay eggs every 2 weeks. 2 yellow tangs a couple smaller fish and just today 2 blue nigger triggers around 3 inches each. I love these fish they stay together and they are cheap at aroun 25 bucks each. Consider. and they are reef safe if anyone tells you otherwise

While my favorite all time fish is a Niger, these are not "safe" in every sense of the word. They will eat cleaner shrimps and any small fish they can bite into. The signal goby would be done day one. Mine also tried to eat the hermits, just wasn't big enough yet to break the shells. It ate a couple of blue damsels and a orange spot goby. It also moved my frags around so much I gave up moving them back.


A nice big pretty fish would be a tang, lots to choose from.

I kept a blue throat trigger in my mixed reef and I had 3 cleener shrimp and one peppermint and snails. He never bothered any of them and they also look really good.
