    [glow=red, 2, 300]Hey we're not here to beat, but coach you up!  Wrassman makes a good point and I have been echoing his message in that this hobby truly requires patience.  I'm not saying I have an abundance of patience, but the hobby demands it of us.

    When I started my tank I had a comprehensive fish, coral, and clean-up crew list - a plan "A" if you will.  Wel almost twelve months into this deal, I'm on plan "C" for change.  My initial list had no tangs and no wrasses, I've got three and four respectively.

    I would have never had such a beutiful tank if I hadn't taken my time and checked out different kinds of reef safe fish.  My wrasse list is far different than what I have due to availability.  In waiting for the Holy Grail of Flasher Wrasses, Paracheilinus mccoskeri, or McCoskers wrasse I have acquired a Fairy and Coris wrasse.  While I will have three Flashers in my tank eventually, I know have a beautiful blue and red Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura and vibrant yellow Halichoeres chrysus.

    The moral of the story is hang loose and lighten up [smiley=beatnik2.gif].  No matter what you plan, it will probably end up different.  Good things come to those who wait![/glow]

    with choosing the blenny i would pick the smaller of the 2 with the lions. as far as your other fish take a look around and see whats out there, theres a lot more fish then u realize and the longer your in the hobby the more you will find
