![]() I'd be wary of a butterfly in a reef.
The rest is all good. Sand sifting gobies can make a mess and you'll have cloudy water. IMO As for wrasses I love em. Though you'll need a covered tank |

![]() Yes, the butterflyfish is also not as hardy and is risky for newbie.
Pajama cardinals are also very boring - stay still in one place IME. Otherwise like your list.

![]() Yee-haw to the yellow eyed kole tang and wrasses.
I love my yellow eyed kole tang, we had a hair algae breakout in our tank and he made quick work of it. I am also a FREAK about wrasses, I love them. Go nuts. Heres some tips on what NOT to get: Damsels. Damsels. DAMSELS!!!! That is all. |

![]() Actually, while I agree that most damsels turn into little terrors, my experience has been that yellow-tail blues and fusilier damsels are among the best of the bunch. Fusilier damsels also school all the time, which is nice to see in a tank.

![]() Yo, I just bought 3 Fiji blues to put into my reef. A lot of people forget that damsels are the true reef fish. Nothing light the sight of a bunch of damsels around a reef head , each protecting their own 12" of real estate. Lol
