My Leopard wrasse was a pig too, ate everything! Mike (ElGuappo) recently had one for sale from his tank (brother or sister to mine I believe so likely a pig too!)
Love the yellow Tail wrasse - striking black with white polka dots, and yellow tail and really neat eyes! Super active!

Also one of my fav fish was my blue face tile fish! Neat fish!

I was under the impression that blueface tile fish are really difficult to keep alive as well as they are poor shippers. Maybe this is a myth.

The Yellowtailwrasse looks pretty interesting, almost similar to a lepard wrasse. I can't say that I have ever seen them before.

My tile fish seemed hardy enough-trouble was they jump...

No the yellowtails are not seen too often but I would absolutely include one in my future fish lists (if I could track one down...)

I've got a covered top, so jumpers are not an issue.

So did I... but they find a crack through occasionally

I see no one has comments on anthias. Is this because they are hard to keep alive, or have not many people kept them.

Also, I was condering a rabbit fish. I had one a long time ago when I had my regal, but they didn't get along at all.

Well, I just realized that something ate all my shrimp over this last weekend. I thought maybe they were hiding, but I guess not. I guess the longnose hawkfish is definitely an option then. Anybody have any other suggestions on reef safe fish that may eat shrimp that might be an option?
