    I heard its much worse than a bee sting x5, but they are very very shy fish and tend to disappear when hands are in the tank. Specially in a tank that size.

    Emperor Angel, by far my favourite fish, the most beautiful fish out there and or also the Queen Angel.
    the only reason why i havent got either, is because i love corals and shrimp. had to make the sacrafice.
    at the end of the day the choice is yours

    Yellow and Regal with clowns will be fine together. Sorry no queen angel though. Not with corals. Foxface are not reefsafe. Some people keep them with no problems. I had one for 6 months and he was fine then started eating LPS as he got bigger. They grow much faster than other fish.
    Gobies.. there's so many of them.
    I have a neon and a yellow head sleeper goby. I would stay away from the Yellow head sleeper if you plan on having corals on the bottom.. they drop sand on them all day long. Otherwise a very interesting and active fish.
    My girlfriend won't let me get rid of him though.
    Those little 2 inch engineer gobies will be 10 inches long in a year. ... just be aware. They grow super fast. Some folks here on three reef has 18 inch engineer gobies.

    Oh.. yeah the fox are venomous.. Like said above. Mine always darted in the rocks when my hand was around but every fish is different and they all get more comfy with you over time. People do get stung.

    Yeah, mine is about 9-10 inches and he closed off the cool caves. He moves huge amounts of sand.

    mikejrice-thats what I heard from my one friend that cleans many of tanks for people and last week he put him hand in the h20 when a plastic cleaning tool fell in...and a lionfish thought it was food and he got stung and had to goto the hospital...He said it wasnt to bad the only bad part was that his hand was swelling up and wouldnt stop.....so i guess i couldn say i know from experience pal....
