    Im starting up a 40 gallon tank with a 30-40 long gallon sump. The sump wil have a skimmer, live sand, and liverock and alot of chaeto moss and a peacock mantis shrimp. The main tank will have livesand and liverock.
    The fish:
    1 maroon or 2 ocellaris clowns
    1 ghoul stingfish
    1 cockatoo waspfish

    not sure what else!!! either a reef safe wrass pair or maybe an oddballish fish???


    has anyone had expierence with coral chouchers? could i keep 1 or 2 with the described setup?


    thanks guys;D

    Which scorpionfish can go in the same tank with a pair of ocellaris clownfish. the leaf scorpions look awesome and im wondering if they have too big mouths and will eat a 3-4 inch ocellaris clown.

    I haven't heard of coral croachers fighting, but I haven't kept two in the same tank. Not for any reason that and I would have tried if the opportunity came about. I haven't seen a large croucher and I believe the ghoul could eat it as one at my barnacle blenny.

    The mouth of a leaf isn't too big when compared with other scorps. They would not eat an adult perc and wouldn't eat a older maroon, for sure. They can be super hard to train to frozen.
