I can see hou you could come to that conclusion with out all the info. This is face is my "Fish" system. I have 6 different systems All with different setups that I "Decided" on long ago (so I can "Have it all").
The tank in question has only Leathers and mushrooms as back ground. The main focus is the fish, which include a Majestic, French, Emperor, Blue Face, and Grey pomacanthus (sp??) all to go in the big tank that is under construction. Algae goes in as "food", cause it does not live longenough to grow
.
Now, the conclusion that I came to was in deed a "newbie" mistake. I simply a)forgot to mention the freakin puffer, and b) didn't realalize the dogface would eat the mushrooms. Every thing else in the tank leaves all the softies alone.
I have a stony/clam reef tank, and have no interest in having any other corals in my "Fish" tank.
Foot note: There is always some one out there that knows more then you. So you can always learn more, and make "Newbie mistakes" So in a way you are always a newbie to some extent. LOL
