And of the Anampses the lennardi seems to be especially sensitive to temp.

Sensitive to a whole lot of things. And then if you get past the barriers, it becomes a big fish.
As much as I would admire one, I don't want one.

I'm assuming a C. johnsoni and C. isoscoles would not do well together?

This pretty much got addressed pages back, but I've always found those two to be okay together. I have done it in the past and doing it again now.
The complex is pretty mild for the most part. When mixing various combinations of the complex I have only seen lunatus and brunneus want to kill each other.

Alternative reef used to make them; do they not anymore?
Otherwise, any plastic or ceramic bowl will do the trick. I'm sure you could find something ceramic that would blend in / not be hideous.

Tank already up and running? When I was considering jawfish I was just going to build an acrylic box 6" deep and glue rock rubble to it to make it blend in. You could adjust the size to match whatever open space you have available. Just keep sand 1-2" below the top to minimize spill. This is assuming you're looking for something for wrasses that bury.

^ Nice angel. That’s funny. In my QT I have 2 supermale bells, juv earls, female bathyphilus, supermale rhomboid, and a nahacki pair.

I have my two johnsoni males in my 150DD cube waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive. Waiting to get an attenuatus soon.

Nice list! Don’t know how the male pairs will do but nice list.

Angel - is that a P. Angulatus with the Attenutus?
