Neon dottyback for me.

Once it hit 4", homie decided CUC were food. It didn't just eat them. It played with them.

Also, in case anyone is thinking about a Checkerboard Wrasse, check here first.

In my previous tank, I bought a snail. I was told it was a sand sifting one, I did no research on it. Months later, one by one the 6 fish I had were all gone...not a trace left.
Was sad and watching NatGeo and they were showing a snail that looked identical to mine.
Turns out is a cone snail with its insanely large hypodermic needle looking thing, thought it was like a Nassarius snail and had a snout. Nope, completely wrong on my part and lucky that I never got hit with its stinger or I could have died like the fish.
Not a fun experience, I took down my tank at that time and took a 2 year hiatus lol
