    180l Tank, How Many Fish?

    is a coral beauty ok for a reef? i thought they nip corals and i suppose the tang will be ok if your willing to rehome it when it gets larger, i would just save the trouble of having to chase it around your tank and just get a reef-safe wrasse

    i looked up Hoplolatilus Cuniculas (yay google) and i agree its probably a tilefish and considering i've never heard of tilefishes or anyone keeping them, im guessing they aren't common in marine trade and are fairly difficult to keep
