So my quest for pigmy filefish has hit a big snag. ORA has no stock and wont be able to supply until who knows when :rolleyes:
I think I'll hold off on them until the new tank is ready to go.

Sooooooo, what fish would you recommend for a 20g cube to go with 2 clowns and a firefish?! LOL

Yes having second cup now while I figure out how much more water volume the two 24x28 sumps and the two chamber refug will add at their running water height to the 300 gallon tank total volume...

Just figured it all out...47.9 plus what will be in the skimmer, aerobic/anaerobic tower and all the 1 1/2 pipes (guess 3 gallon) so I guess another 50 gallons...total 350 gallons...dang thats a lot of salt....hahahah

I would recommend a goby or a blenny or something along those lines.

Just be cautious when adding the blenny with the fire fish. There may be some aggression.

Filefish are super unique:

I would love to try them sometime. :)

Ya, I feel pretty letdown about the filefish but c'est la vie
I think a goby would be too similar to the firefish, I don't want any aggression at all.

thought about a lawnmower but they do get pretty big. 5" I think. Definitely on the list though.
I can highly recommend a starry blenny. Mine is a grazer and eats all kinds of fish food as well. Super great personality…also throws frags and clean up crew.

Is this a dead hermit crab that was ripped out of its shell somehow? Or is this a shed skin?

It looks like it was somehow ripped out of its shell… ;Bored

Are the pigmy as prone to nipping as full sized?

I had one, his name was Hank. Went through 45 day medicated qt with ease. Within 12 hours of being in the dt, Hank had chewed the skirt off of half of my Zoas.

Hank went blank.
