    Maybe a barnacle blenny? They are so cute. I've not had problems in the past with lawnmowers being aggressive so I don't think aggression is a given with them. I think your stock list sounds great. Blue throats are actually one of the few triggers that are considered reef safe with caution. I love triggers...ingtar's order is perfect! I might add in the blue throat after the tang. They really are not aggressive fish. My LFS has had one for some time and it actually hides a lot in the rock. I know others have kept them and they are out and about a lot more....

    How do I qt all of them and add them at the same time? Knowing that my 20l is too small for all three, which should I qt first?

    In general mixing Blennies and Gobies is not a good idea.(there are exceptions.);)

    Well, to further complicate things, how is the QT setup? Just a barebottom tank with heater and filter? I am asking, as I personally would not use such a setup for a dwarf angel. They pick at live rock all day long, and so I do not think would do well in a QT without LR. That being said, I personally would QT 2 juvenile clowns together, add them to the DT, then QT the Lemonpeel if the tank has LR as mentioned. A different dwarf angel, and it would probably be the other way around.

    Excellent advise.;) You want there to be little to no aggresion while your fish are in QT.The smaller tank and initial acclimation of the animal is stressfull enough.QT Clowns.Add them to your system.QT Angel.Add it to your system etc....
