    Ok, so here is my situation. I have a second tank that has a couple of corals in it, and is also well supplied with snails/crabs. Ok well there are no fish in there and there are some amphipods that are now swarming across the walls of my tank. I am thinking of putting something in there that can enjoy the pods and be ok for the polyps in the tank. thanks in advance cause I am sure that amcarring is going to have a quick and easy response. Who needs an encyclopedia when I have all of you.

    I would suggest a Leopard wrasse. Beautiful fish and it will eat pods and prepard foods. But I guess I should ask what size is the tank?

    I always liked the way a scooter blenny scoots around the tank pecking at the lr and sand. Its really all about personal preference and what fish would best suit the setup that you have. :)

    i love my lawnmower blenny. its kind of a wierd fish. watches you like a stalker and hides like Waldo. thats what i named mine, Waldo. if you watch him you will notice they darken their color to blend in with the lighting in the particular place they are in.

    Any number of Flasher or Fairy Wrasses will do the trick and are very colorful, hardy and brilliantly patterned.

    Ok, I am thinking I am going to try to find some type of scooter blenny. Now My wife told me that my post sounded like I was cutting amcarrig down. So i must appologize. It was not meant as an insult it was meant as a compliment.

    No worries at all, if I had thought that you were insulting me, I would have told you so ;)
