Red Sea Nano stocking

[zeeAqqqua]

As the title says, I’m looking for stocking ideas for a red sea nano. It’s on the smaller side but I want to venture on the predator side of things.

Not planning on putting any other fish other than the predator fish. It will be his solo tank. Also reef safe would be nice because i’m planning on adding lots of corals mainly sps and lps.

Thanks!

How many gallons is it

How many gallons is it

20 gallons

20 gallons is too small for any predator fish I can think of to be honest except for a coral croucher. @lion king might be able to confirm this or make suggestions

How about a peacock mantis?

I've thought about it before but when I asked my LFS don't know if they can get one for me and they can't guarantee the size it will arrive.

Maybe a wartfish if you want to try training it to eat prepared food.

I could, There's a red one right now at my LFS, I missed out on the yellow and red cuz I didn't have a tank that it can go then. They said if I wanted they could get me one but I heard majority of the time they only last 1year in captivity.
