    I decided I had to add the extremely cool and unpopular Yellow Stripe Clingfish. Not only is he unique, but he's beneficial to protecting coral from unwanted parasitic bivalves. He'll be going in the 92 corner.

    I have never had one. I would sure consider one though I like the coloration and look of the fish. A couple members on here have them so hopefully they will chime in with their experience with the fish.

    It says semi-agressive. Let us know how that goes. If it isn't too mean I will have to get one as well cool looking fish.

    Will do. Although it's considered "semi-aggressive," its maximum size is 2". I'm sure only extremely small fish that are added after would be of any concern. The challenge appears to be in acclimating the fish to prepared foods.

    Cool, my YT Damsel is only 2" but will take on a much larger fish.

    If it does well I'd consider one of those and have till I read the semi-aggressive disposition.
