Considering a chalk bass for my 10 gal. reef...I read that they like subdued lighting...not if the 10 with LED is a good choice although I do have a cave...he'd go with a tail spot blenny and yellow tail damsel...my last fish...any other recommendations...Thanks...:rolleyes:
 
They will adjust to full reef lighting intensity. Perhaps a watchman or neon goby, maybe a plectranthias?
 
I Love Chalk bass! good call. mine have never seemed to mind the higher lights either so i think your ok there
 
Watch out for jumping, I had one in a 40 breeder he was great then disappeared. I found him a few months later petrified behind the tank.[emoji30]
 
Mine jumps like crazy! I have screen lids so he's not getting out, but a few times during feeding I've had to pick him up off the floor

+1 they will jump! When I feed they fly up like rockets and bounce against the screen top over my reef. Must be fun!
