rusty angel. i want to get one for my 40, when i finally get around to the adding fish stage that is. i think most anthias call for a bigger tank, like 70 minimum? please prove me wrong, since i love anthias and would love to have a couple.

Fish I have on my wish list for my 40G build; Yasha Goby, Purple Firefish, Midas Blenny, Labouti Farry Wrasse, and Dwarf Pygmy Angel.
I'm not ready for fish by any means so I will need to scrutinize that list later. |

The leopard wrasse looks cool! I was thinking about a longnose hawk fish as well but i am worried about the competiton for food with the Mandrin i was thinking the same thing about wrasses. I was originaly thinking abot a six line but they can get agressive when they get older. For angels i am worrid about them eating corals. But i think i will be fine with softies and LPS. I will research anthias and see what i find.

The Rusty Angel, Centropyge ferrugata:
This species is found in the West Pacific, can reach a size of about 4”, and is another good choice for an aquarium, in my experience. They stay small, are less aggressive than other Centropyge's, and haven’t been problematic in reef aquariums, either. this is the text from the article linked to above regarding the rusty angel

I decided to get a coral beauty. For my next fish (2-3 weeks) will probally be a wrasse then the clowns. Is this to much of a bio load or is it fine. Here is some pics of the CB.
