    AS the title says looking for reef safe herbivore

    im putting my list together of fish for my 40g breeder im building.
    so far ik my list has
    2- snowflake clowns (hoping i can pair them and not buy them paired)
    2- wrasse (same type or 2 different types) for the wrasse i was looking atFilamented Flasher Wrasse or the 5 stripes or one of each probally the filamented flasher since 5 line is reef safe with caution.
    1- green mandarin goby (ik i plan on have a fug with chaeto to breed the pods for it)
    and like 2-3 scissortail goby (yes i will have a cover on this unless the cover will affect the led lights i plan on getting if so then no the cover is just a simple glass cover so it should let all the light threw)
    and then some type of basslet

    thats it soo far
    plz dont shot me im still doing the research on all these fish, this is just a WISH list.
    i noticed i had mainly omnivore and carnivores for my list and i wanted a strick herbivore
    im open to suggestions on all types of wrasse, basslets and goby's
    but the 2 i must have in there are the snowflake clowns i saw them at my lfs and fell in love with them

    If you have a cover use acrylic lets way more light through than glass, so it really shouldnt effect your lights. All in all mesh screening shouldnt hurt lighting that much anyways

    A lawnmower blenny should fit the bill nicely.
