A few new fish

If you have a good amount of Pods or can get them to eat prepared food how about a couple of Dragon Face Pipefish
Ive seen them in full blown reefs and since they pretty much slither on the rocks they can handle the flow

I'll have to read on them. I was under the impression they were in the same temp restrictions as seahorses.
If not, definitely a cool option. Thanks!

They seem to fall in the under 78 temps and I too out sometimes at 81.
I see a chiller in the near future. I'd really like to have a seahorse and pipefish tank tied in.

I know this is a different direction, but what do you guys think of sargassum triggers? I don't have any shrimp and My tank is going in the direction of mostly softies and a few Lps. From what I've read, I'm more at risk of coral damage with my flame angel than the trigger.

My sanded goes from 2 to 5" but I don't think my sixline would welcome it. Tried it once amd the six wouldn't let it come out of the sand

sargassums are tough to find. I think they are great fish to keep...it would love a 180.

First stop got us a tailspot blenny, sleeper goby and a bicolor goatfish. The tailspot and sleeper are for the cube. They had a lavender tang I really liked but I wasn't sure how my orange shoulder would react

They basically use their tendrils (is that what you call them?) or whiskers to sift thru the sand looking for things to eat. In a deep sand bed supposedly this is not ideal since they basically eat the very fauna that helps to keep the sandbed (supposedly) clean. But I think generally speaking they are pretty helpful at eating any left over food that somehow falls on the surface/trapped under the sand.

i guess for kicks if you had a big goat fish you could put a small crab down there and let it play hide and seek for it's food. HAHAA.

btw i'm not sure it's safe with shrimp but i believe you said you don't have any. I'm curious though if it will be a plague on your snails. we will hear from you I'm sure!

I had a yellow coris wrasse that is supposedly "reef safe" but loved to terrorize all my snails.

My red coris does more than terrorize snails. He eats em. I have to order a new cuc every 3 months. It's worth it though . I knew when I got him he preferred escargot....
The goat might help me with the emeralds I'd like to get rid of.... Lol
