Not for me, I don't want these things to die and I don't want them. You should try to get this lady to sell you something though and just f with her(idk if I can get banned for saying f-sorry) tell her you have a 10g tank and want a jem tang or something.
Haha I’m very tempted but I am a loyal customer to Dr reef. This is part of the learning curve. I swear the first time I saw my clowns sleep I had a panic attack. This is part of the beauty of learning.

Even some copperbands eat coral…

Roaps are pretty safe but very expensive and hard to find.

Otherwise pyramid butterflies.

There isn’t many tbh… even the mostly safe ones sometimes eat coral
Thanks for sharing this information for future generations who may be looking for something about these beautiful fishes.

I have watched them in the stores and wished I had more time and money to start a tank and coral grow out to keep them alive and healthy in.

These guys were probably shipped out free as fillers to fill up a shipping box from the overseas wholesalers.

Which one is best for my tank, I want to respond to her. I'm thinking rabbit fish and pyramid.
I think I would pass on more fish and let the ones that you have be enough for now.

Ask if there are any other species of fish you could substitute

Seems they are giving you a credit why not apply it more appropriately / favorably

Butterflies, forget the name of the first but the one with the lines is a myers butterfly

Jayden - There are a lot of lessons on this thread.

1 - only deal with reputable business.
2 - saving a few bucks on a deal too good to be true... is almost always too good to be true.
3 - you really need to research livestock well before buying.
4 - you are a new reef keeper.... one or two fish a time. Start with easy stuff, you jumped right into the deep end.

Pretty cheap for $200.
Get the rabbitfish and call it a day and cut your loses before things get any crazier. Take the others to the LFS and take whatever they give you, even if it is nothing.
