So, my 3’x16”xSPS tank is going to be uncommon to rare fish. Ideally I want in the future a maximum of 6-7 fish. Obviously these will all be small fish. So I don’t really want anything over 4 inches.
Currently I’m just in the phase of watching my current fish and just building coral/inverts.

Currently in the tank there are;
- Stonogobiops yasha
- Pseudocheilinops ataenia trio*
- Macropharyngodon bipartitus
- Gobiodon acicularis


- Ophioderma appressum*
- Lysmata debellius*
- Lysmata wurdemanni
- Alpheus randalli*
- Tridacna maxima*
- Tridacna deresa


- 6 Acropora sp.
- Stylophora sp.
- Seriatopora hystrix
- Montipora spoingodes
- Montipora digitata

- Ricordea florida & yuma
- Fymbriaphyllia ancora


In the 3 Lists above (Separated by Coral, Fish and Inverts), the * is what I plan to have in the longterm plan. Obviously this may change depending on what you guys think. my aim is to have multiples of each species and less species to mimic what you’d most likely see in a SPS reef. So far my thoughts on fish are;
- Wetmorella tanakai pair
- Macropharyngodon choati (?)

So, let’s hear what you guys have to say! And an FTS of my reef from top down along with my prized possessions in this tank.

Most fish are safe with SPS. The main offenders are some blennies, clown gobies, and the evident angel fish.

The wrasses you mentioned are safe with SPS.

I don’t think I’ll trust blennies after that Lineatus took nice chunks out of some of my nicer acros.
Any thoughts on Escenius bimaculatus being risky?

Hopefully, my original plan was to grab a a definite pair but the lineatus stopped me from that plan
