For me, Its because I first love is fish. I have a reef tank for the corals as well. Fish that nip a bit usually do not end up killing the corals, but luckily, I do not get the acan and micro thing. I like some of them, but since real estate is at such a premium in the reef tank, I stick to what I really like.

Me TOTM what about you? You have a sweet collection:)
Trust me I wish they didn't like my chalices but for some reason they do:(
I even feed my tank 2-3 sometimes 4 times a day.

Maybe is a couple years after I upgrade again :lol: True that I like to collect, but your tank is very nice and has grown in very nicely. I think your tank should be TOTM until mine grows in :cool:

True, but that is the exception. I have over 20 chalices and at this point of my reefing carrer, I needed to live on the edge a bit. I have spoken to a few joculator owners and so far Stacie is the only one who has shared this.

Stacie, did one of your jocs kill an interuptus? I think I remembered you mentioning something along those lines.

Mark- I wanted to put my Interruptus pair in my 210 that already had the jocs in. I knew this could be a problem but I tried everything before I released the Interruptus into the tank. Needless to say my male joc was a beast. I honestly think if I would of left my male Interrupta in the tank the jocs would of killed him.

Nate82- I had my jocs in a 210 SPS tank with no problems. When I was lucky enough to come across my dream fish (Interruptus) I figured I might have some decision to make. Long story short I decided to put the jocs in my 120 LPS knowing they might like the corals and they do:) It is stange I also use to think I would never put a fish in a tank that might eat corals, I guess I just happen to like angels to much.

Mark as far as the tank growing in that is the problem we have no more room & there is still stuff I want...oh well guess it is time for another upgrade:) I would love to have a tank large enough to be able to have my jocs & interruptus together....hopefully soon.

racerw--- well so far she has been ideal. she gets along very well in the tank and doesnt bother any of the other fish. (lyretail anthias, midas blenny, clown gobies, bangaii). she spends a lot of time swimming in and out of all the holes and crevices and constantly picks at the rocks. so far she has been an angel (hehehhe) and hasnt picked at any of the corals. but i know sometimes they will begin to pick at things so not sure what i will do if that starts to happen. i guess it would depend on if she was doing any "real" damage.

Mine's been the same way so far. S/he is actually getting chased around from time to time by the fairy wrasse. I'm hoping this little fish is enough to keep him bright so I don't need to try to find a female. Here's a pic of my little argi:

I also had a pygmy in the past who thought he was my black clowns mate. After some time she stopped paying attention to him and he became aggressive to her:
