the wrasses (the hogfish is a wrasse too) depending on species, will probably eat crabs, shrimp maybe snails. be careful of crabs and hermits, some species will go after fish.
you might consider some urchins and serpent/brittle stars. are you wanting algae eaters or detritovores, or both? some blennies will control nuisance algae. |

My 55 gallon PPR tank is: Planted with about more ~10 species of green and red macroalgae (Halimeda, 2-3 species Caulerpa, Codium, Chaetomorpha, 2 species red macro, some kind of green turf algae, etc.) Predator - with a green wolf eel blenny, waspfish, juvenile niger trigger (and a juvenile blue spotted rabbitfish). My Hawaiian leaf fish are with seahorses now, but once the trigger and rabbit move to bigger tanks, they'll be back in. Reef - okay, not that much of a reef - leather corals, mushrooms, a lot of different polyps, Turbinaria, couple other easy, hardy corals. Last edited by LisaD; 12/17/2007 at 11:01 AM. |
