    the pencil wrasse is really cool looking, i dont know anything about them but i would worry that your 6 line would pick on it, they are known to be pretty aggressive, espeically towards other wrasses

    yeah im not sure that it would be worth it to stick another wrasse in with the 6 line just on the notion that it could be aggressive towards it but i definitely vote on the kole tang for sure!!

    well got another sps frag today :) its a green hydnophora. its probly 2.5" wide and 4" tall and main stalk is really thick. It was stung by anemone at LFS few weeks back.. its been recovering, Ive been eye balling it for a couple weeks and decided to grab it now before someone else did.. I got it for 20 bucks, but I'll have to play nurse for a while.. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.. ;D

    updated pics: 3-29-10

    added some rocks into tank.. built rock wall wider and little taller. got the candy cane looking alot healther since its been recovering last 5 weeks.
    I plan on building back live rock wall higher & all the way accross the tank so more sps corals can go there. ;D so whats everyone think so far? I've done alot last few weeks.. even doing more WCs.. which ive never liked doing!
