    Well I am going ahead with the plan. Unfortunally it will involve pulling apart my rock work to get the fish. I decided I am just going to cut a divider out of lighing grate and wall off the Coral Beauty in a section of my tank. The grate is to small for snails to get thru and I won't have to worry about cycling the 10g. I will get a few turbos and add them to the main tank and maybe a Yellow Tang if I can find a good one.

    CB's can be such a pain. Whenever my CB comes out at night, he roams the entire reef and the rest of the inhabitants just make a run for it!

    You never know, it is hard to define the agression of a fish. Think about humans how would you define us as a whole.

    Size: 2 - 8 Feet
    Care Level: Moderate
    Temperament: Super Agressive
    Reef Safe: No
    Diet: Fast Food
    Origin: Earth

    Of course not all humans can be summed up. So I guess the point I'm trying to make is some fish are just jerks, no matter what their typical temerament is.

    wow I was thinking of adding a dwarf angel of some sort, and was leaning to a cb or flame. Then my husband bought a clam. End of angels as I had read that they can nibble on clam mantles. I did invest in a fish trap that works like a charm to coral errant fish into so I wouldn't have to tear down my tank to remove 5 damnsel Chromis......that were supposed to be peaceful. Yeah right they killed my clown and relentlessly attacked everything including each other. they are now in my qt awaiting transport to the lfs.

    Sucks to have to tear tank down to remove the accused! I have not known the CBS to attack snails but guess it can happen. I did have 2 very mean and agressive Emeralds that would mug anyone that came near. Took about 2 months to figure out and 2 weeks longer to catch but once gone eveyone was happy.

    I'm looking for the reef safe, peaceful, Lionfish. There's gotta be at least one black sheep out there.

    Or a clown that could tear a shark to pieces.
