Ill be going to J&L on sunday so ill see what damsels they have. Never thought of a shrimp though. Longnose hawkfish looks pretty cool but it says they can eat smaller fish.

Long nose are cool but they too are jumpers

There are other kinds of hawkfish like arc eye and flame; I have the latter and the guy is a hoot, great personality, extremely easy to care for, funny looking and great red colour.

Do they swim around a lot of just kind of sit at the bottom.

Anyone ever had a problem with a foxface and a yellow tang together? I heard that yellow tangs do not like other yellow fish.

And after looking at roskoreef's tank I think that a bunch of blue/green chromis looks pretty dam good.

My yellow tang harrassed my foxface regularly. The foxface was the larger fish as well, but the yellow tang was in there first.

My YT is just plain mean to any fish that comes in, whatever colour/species/size. Next time I do a tank down the road, I may just stay away from zebrasomas altogether, just had bad experience with it personally and also heard bad stories more than positives.

Reef safe butterflies like pyramid is pretty cool. I definitely like mine, quite active and looks unique.

Hmmm. Ive always wanted a yellow tang. Maybe if the foxface is bigger and since hes already there a smaller tang might not attack it?
Also made an impulse buy and bought a Copperband butterfly
