    So I'm thinking of selling the Cuban and going with some peaceful wrasses instead- maybe a couple Solon Fairy Wrasses? I think the Harlequin Tusk is still a go.

    LA is having a sale on the wrasse now about 15 dollar savings. They are jumpers so cover is needed.

    So many pretty wrasses out there.. luv them.

    +1 on the plan to go with the Tusk.. worth a shot Wish I had your tank which we could use an updated full tank shot on

    Thanks for the heads-up. Any suggestions for larger peaceful wrasses? Melanarus? My plan was to add Wrasses, Harlequin Tusk, Tangs and Angel.

    Update: I sold the Cuban Hogfish, and although it was difficult, I talked myself out of the Harlequin Tusk. With both fish, I'm just not willing to risk losing my smaller fish down the road. Moving on to tangs for my 240. I think I made a good choice.
