    Well I got 5 fish out of my tank (my tank is basically fishless!) because they all became coral eaters...I got my mated blue jaw trigger pair (they did not eat coral but would eat anything new added), my second fish that I ever owned a regal tang that I have had for 2 years, my scribbled rabbit, and a mutant black tang.

    I am getting store credit for these guys and was wanting suggestions for fish to add that will be cool and DOES NOT EAT CORAL! I have a 135g. I know I want to get some schooling fish.....have my eye on 3 lemon drop cardinals, and will eventually get a few anthias (probably lyretail).

    What would you all recommend in way of tangs or other fish. I would like one that is good at keeping algea down and is different. I have thought about a purple tang, but not sure I want to pay $140 right now. Any suggestions

    How about a Kole (yellow-eyed) tang? They are reef safe, and are a great bristletooth tang.

    The fish that I have now is a mated pair of Picasso clowns, Bellus Angel (Yeah I know...you would think this one would eat corals...), lawnmower and a orange spotted goby
