    I disagree with tilefish. I've heard even with experienced reefers they dive into the rock and waste away. They have to be fed a lot IIRC, to.

    Depends a lot on the type of file ime. The ugly ones such as the matted file seem to be pretty easy but the better looking ones are picky sensitive eaters.

    I think a dwarf angel would fit in really well. I it would make a nice centerpiece fish that will swim around a lot.

    I would steer clear of leopard wrasse. I've seen a lot of people try it, and it tends to be one of those fish that you will go through several of before getting one that eats well. Like a lot of fish from Hawaii, they are just weak shippers that come with a strict diet.
