What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So I'm hoping to get a Yellow Corris wrasse and hopefully some type of flasher/fairy wrasse this weekend. @kevgib67 does your corris wrasse bother other fish?
I have a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse, Walker and he's a perfect tank mate! He will swim some of the smaller fish into the corners after he eats, because he loves to flash around and show his colors. What's really cool is he won't run my tailspot blenny off. They swim touching gill plates all the time. It’s really cool, I've never seen fish do that before.

He's hard to photograph, he always just looks like a pink and orange streak.

They are such beautiful fish! I'm going to get as many as I can lol
 
Totally forgot about this guy!!
Do you remember when Taco Bell was promoting the new Godzilla movie and the dog would say “Here lizard lizard!” ?
 
I may be lightly trying to talk myself out of a possum wrasse right now.

Why would you want to do a silly thing like talk yourself out of buying a fish?

Why would you try to talk yourself out of that? Sounds like a very reasonable purchase.

Well, let me pick your brain. I have a 40 gallon tank with all peaceful fish. With my current stocking, (Fairy Wrasse, 2 pj cardinals, blue sapphire damsel, tsb and scooter blenny. My nitrates and phosphates are always on the low side, so I don't think I'm too overstocked right now. Do you think I might be over doing it?
 
This guy keep nipping :crying-face: now the weeping willow
