How much room is in the tank? If alot with alot of flow and alot of skimming I would say get a clown tang and over feed. Go on.....be my hero

I have a fowleri. He is awesome. Just beware, they get big. REALLY BIG

I already saw my recommendation listed - Gem Tang. Exciting/attractive fish both for folks not in the hobby and experienced keepers due to it sticking color pattern and rarity. Absolutely gorgeous in person ... seen 5 or 6 in person. As you mentioned, only downside is cost. Unfortunately, don't think that will change. 40hour transport out of Mauritius with no guarantees from the exporters - not a profit scenario for anyone down the chain.

I'm 1 for 2 with clown shipments coming out of there - considered that a win.

Might be my show fish one day ... right now it is my achilles.

I have this angel and she is GREAT... not really expensive either....

At least you can have a real angel in the tank and not worry about her eating your cool stuff!

Thahn, Come in and see our GORGEOUS pair of latz clowns. Wild caught, so perfect barring. Adult size.

Latz are more of a specialty fish. I need something that will grab the attention of a general audience.

Youve never seen a wild pair, obviously. To each their own. I have a big aussie tusk wrasse. Nothing grabs attention like that.

[sea atlanta]

[mvm]

Yeah, the blue and yellow glow would be hard to get on camera.

 

[eagle9252]

There you go, I've been drooling over this one for awhile. Someone local needs to but it!

 

[thanh386]

Well, plans have change. I might be breaking down.

 

[dawgface]

HUH? What happened?

 

[thanh386]

Depression lol

 

[liverock27]

Don't break down the tank! You have way too many nice corals to do that.
