    Since my tang died yesterday i can go get a new fish or coral today maybe both lol Does anyone have suggestions on what I should get? Im looking for something that is reef safe in a 75gal, active swimmer will also do well with:

    oscar clown (mated pair), royal gramma, lawnmower blenny.

    What I plan to pick up is a toadstool leather and 1-2 fish.

    Had one die yesterday and you are going for another fish today? I would wait if it were me just to feel things out before adding more. Good luck.

    I think it is always better to replace a fish right away, if it seems the fish died "naturally" and no disease was apparent. I keep a Coral Beauty and it has never nipped any coral and my tank is almost all soft coral. They are very active and have a lot of personality. Maybe 3 Green Chromis will go in nicely also.

    Chromis are great fish. they are pretty and always active and swimming around at the top. plus they do that kissing thing. its cute. i know they aren't kissing but still its cute :) also they seem to calm other fish. (lore them out)

    I have 3 chromis and they don't school much but they are still small I guess. They are still interesting fish none the less always swimming around all over some follow the clowns around and seem to try and school with them for some reason lol.

    i think Chromis school better when you have five or over.

    I have 6 Chromis in my tank, and 5 of them school, and the other is the "scout." He will go out on his own, and shortly after that return to the school, and the school will move to where he just was. Very active, peaceful, and attractive when the light hits them. Bangaii Cardinals are attractive fish with personality too.

    Why not try a purple queen anthias or mandarin goby? Better yet a copperband or foxface.

    The purple queen anthias looks awesome they are out of the flame anthias havent ever seen the puple ones. I also had a mandarin but I dont have my sump up and running yet so I dont want another one until i can grow pods so he doesnt starve. What is a copperband or foxface? I dont believe i have ever seen those.
