decided to add a couple spongesto the list, not only for show but also something for my regal angelfish to graze on. Includes
pink strawberry sponge
smooth yellow encrusting spongey
red branching tree sponge
6-7 yellow ball sponges
bright red encrusting sponge
beesponge

as well as adding a couple sun corals and a TON of gorgonians

Would releasing A LOT of small crabs, shrimp, ;similar inverts help the harlequin tuskfish have some natural prey to hunt for? Im probably gonna get those that breed in captivity to keep th epopulation going. (thanks @marcinpolak !!)

Actually considering a macroalgae with sponges tank, with lots of gor gorgonians, will the tangs eat all the algae or no??? If not, i will be keeping primarily sponges and gorgonians
