Default If you could what would it be

With my tank transfer coming up and the loss of some fish I contemplate being rid of my yellow assessor.
With that said I entertain the idea of a specimin tank. I like the idea of a ribbon eel but don't want to cover tank. Also thought of a frog fish

So what you house if you set up a specimin tank?

I have a ribbon Eel in a full reef. The top is a must tho. I would get an octopus if I made a species tank.

I love frog fish, sadly they do not do well in captivity. I do not know anyone who has had long term success with them. I have tried a few, none made it over 6 months. When my last one went downhill I asked on here if anyone has had success keeping them and sadly everyone who responded said no
