Flashing wrasse
Ok so I'm slowly gathering all the information I need to finish stocking my fowlr tank. The fish below are in already with the intention of adding, in this order over a couple of months :
1 Blue spotted puffer 1 Bartlett anthia 1 longnose hawk 3 flasher wrasse 1 coral beauty First up are there any issues with that list an secondly the wrasse are probably going to be carpenters or mcklosker. I'm going for 3 as apparently they do better in groups. Anyone got alternatives if they forsee a problem? New aquarium 300l juwel rio 40kg sand 40kg live rock Tmc v2 skim 500 compact hob skimmer 1000lph filter pump Filter floss Carbon 2 x 2800 lph circulation pumps (fluval sea 3, hydor koralia 3200) 1 black sailfin blenny 1 purple firefish 1 one spot Foxface 2 percula clowns (pair) 1 strawberry conch 5 nassarius snails Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk |

The Blue Spotted Puffer will likely eat your snails & conch, and they sometimes harass smaller fish.
I would actually do 3 Bartlett's Anthias (all females), and a single Carpenter's or McCosker's flasher wrasse. |

Instead of the puffer, you could go with a smaller tang from the Ctenochaetus genus: Kole, Tomini or Two Spot Bristletooth. Those are all "snail safe". Or certain butterflyfish are coral/invert friendly: "Pyramid Butterflies" from the Hemitaurichthys genus or Schooling Bannerfish (must be Heniochus diphreutes). |
