Default needing ideas on a new fish!!
I have removed my red sea sailfin tang from my 90 gal reef. it was picking on corals and my blue lined rabbit fish. the fish was really cool but i think my tank was to small and the fish and it got board and started picking on things. the tang has killed a couple of corals that i introduced to the tank so he is gone now!! I am looking for a med. size fish (trying to stay away from tangs) reef safe and friendly to other fish. I have 1 blue lined rabbit 1 purple phudo 2 clown fish and 2 green chromis. I have a lot of shrimp also in the tank.
Your ideas will be appreciated!!

I have a yellow pygmy angel, beautiful, and will not pick at coral. Got at saltwaterfish.com Is about 2 in. when I got it. Very docile and non-threatning to other fish in tank.

what i have read on the pink cuke is about the same as a sea apple,, and everything else in the tank. high water quality and plenty of food. I have had the pink one for about 2 weeks its open most of the day and night. If its not out a little phyto will get it to extent its tentacles. I have had the sea apple for over a yr now and never any probs at all its been one of the biggest conversation pieces in the tank

IMO, sea cukes are one of the neatest creatures someone can put into a tank.

this may be a bit random but i was wondering what snowflakes eels are like. what kind of fish do they live with? can they live with cleaner shrimp? how big would it grow in a 55g tank?
