    I was just wondering what CuC and what fish I should choose to watch after my frags. It will be a 20g long tank. Would a wrasse be a good choice?

    This frag tank will mostly have zoas growing in it. I dont really like snails.. they piss me off knocking everything over. Would hermits be anygood.. if so what kind. I am looking for specifics. I always see yellow coris wrasses in frag tanks at LFS's.

    I would definitely ask reefcleaners.org to build you a specific package of CUC. They are very good at what they do and you can tell them the type of tank you have, what your goal is and what species you want to avoid. The especially nice thing is that it is an actual person who advises you on what to get, its not some random formula.

    I know you said you don't like snails cause they tend to make everything fall over, but they really do help a lot when they are part of a CUC. Also, i have found my hermits used to knock everything over, just as much as snails, so i think it is more of a case of the size rather than whether they are snails or crabs.

    As far as fish go, you could look at a six line wrasse. They will help with taking care of a lot of coral eating pests.

    Does anyone have any fish recommendations or what type of wrasse would make a good zoa frag tank worker?
