    Pufferfish, even tobies are known for killing lionfish. The tomato clown will probably kill every single fish in there. IMO a 55 is a little skinny for an eel but it should be fine.

    Here is my reply from your other thread and just to help you a little instead of starting a new thread all the time just keep adjusting the one you already started. Helps to keep the site from becoming a cluttered mess.;)
    I think you are going to need a larger tank.:cry:You are quickly going to discover that unless you can seperate what you "want" from what you can "have". You are setting yourself up for failure and the death of the fish you love. Predator tanks can become extremely dirty. Adding alot of them to a small tank usually ends in disaster. Make sure you research each fish/invert thoroughly before attempting to add them.;)
    Green spotted puffers start off life living in brackish water. Only when mature do they tolerate full salinity in a SW tank. They can also be highly aggresive to other fish.
    I would choose between the Lion,Betta or Eel. While one of these should be O.K. in your tank all three would not.IMO
    The addition of the Tomato clown first may or may not be a problem but keep in mind these can be highly aggresive especially with new tank mates.
    I would also not put a Pincushion Urchin in a tank with an Eel for fear of it becoming injured by it.
    Horseshoe crabs do not do well in captivity and are one of the creatures I believe belongs in the ocean.

    Your inverts are compatible but with such a small tank feeding all of them may be an issue.
    Heres LA views on the Fighting Conch.
    Praised for their hardiness, the Fighting Conch requires open, deep sand beds in which it can forage for food. Though multiple Fighting Conches should be housed in larger systems, single specimens are suited for any size reef aquarium. Keep in mind that the Fighting Conch has a voracious appetite; as such, supplemental feeding is required in smaller systems and recommended in even the largest aquarium setups. Also you will not be able to add shrimp with the fish on your list.

    Looks to me like the same basic lineup of fish in all four threads-

    You were told in your first thread that a 55g is not a suitable tank for multiple predators. If you're really that determined, you don't need our approval.
