    Also got a yellow not-so-coris ( Chiquita) who promptly buried himself in the sand.

    Longnose, I've heard that these fish have a good success rate in reefs.

    Thanks! I'll look into them! I really like butterflies.

    Yes I like this fish a lot! I have been reading up on them and they sound pretty awesome ( and most importantly compatible with my tank as long as it leaves my coral alone ).

    How many fish is okay to put in this tank?

    Stock list:
    2 black occi
    2 firefish
    Kole tang
    Red scooter blenny

    Wrasses
    McCosker
    Yellow
    Exquisite
    Lubbock

    So that's 10 fish already.

    I wanted to add a red head Solon wrasse.... And that long nose butterfly looks awesome but I more importantly want a healthy low stress tank. I have a oversized 150 g protein skimmer but I don't want to push my luck? Any advice on bioload for me?

    I thought I would add that 15% weekly waterchanges is currently yielding 5 ppm nitrates, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 0 phosphates before each weekly water change.

    I like my solorensis wrasse a bit aggressive tho. Beautiful tank tho by the way. I would like to get an exquite wrasse in my tank too and now seeing yours, a yellow coris wrasse. I think u should skip the butterfly and get a clam, I think it would like your low nitrate levels.
