    I was thinking of adding a new and final fish to my current reef setup. I had my eye on a 6line for a while, but was thinking of a larger fish. My current livestock are listed in my Sig. I was hoping you guys could chime in with some ideas.. I cant support any burrowing fish as my substrate is very fine and is only 3" deep.

    Any and all recommendations would be great. Color, activeness, and personality is a major plus.;D

    Hey Gexx... My current clown was a mated pair that lost the female 2 years ago. I plan to get another pair of black and whites when my current clown either moves tanks or passes. I did have my eye on a few blennies and will def keep one in mind. Thanks

    I took the risk with the CB and lucked out. Ive never had an issue with coral nipping... Im glad i purchased it as my clown and gramma seem to feel more secure when this fish is out and about. Not to meantion its awesome colors I planned on either moving it to the Sump or returning the Cb if there were any nipping issues.

    Idk if this had anything to do with it, but I added the Cb before I added any corals. Glad to be one person who had a positive experience with this fish and corals.
