    Six lines will help with any pest problems like bristleworms and the like.

    Also don't worry about the clowns. Not all fish like to be cleaned by cleaner shrimp. I'm sure some people have clowns that get cleaned, but personally mine doesn't like it.

    Exactly...

    Hasn't grown up somewhere thinking any old place he wanted was his.

    You should be safe as adding late in stocking.

    Great fish!

    The Blue Hippo are nice fish but I have stayed away from them the last 8 years or so. IMO they are just ick machines... Six Lines are great thaough.

    I've had a hippo, sailfin, purple, mimic tang, and foxface together, they all schooled.
    You may want to keep an eye on your Flame angel though when adding polyps I've seen some mow down a rock in no time and other pay no attention... just start with a cheap frag first;)
