Compatible???

[BIG_ONE]

Just want to make sure if they are compatible with each other before I start to stock them in my tank.

Fish: 2 ocellaris clown,1 six line wrasse,1 flame angel(50/50 chance depend on budget),1 damsel(not sure which species yet), 1 green chromis, 1 jawfish, 1 purple or regular fire fish.

Inverts: 1 coral banded shrimp, 1 skunk cleaner shrimp, 1 blood fire red shrimp, 1 emerald crab, 1 blue hermit crab, and 1 starfish(not sure which species yet)

What does the coral banded shrimp do? Just being curious...need something to control the bristle worm population although I know the six line wrasse would take care of it, but need more than 1 bristle worm patrol.

what size tank???

CBS are much more active and peacful as a mated pair, though waiting for one to come along is a bit of a pain
if the tank is small i'd leave out the fire shrimp, they don't do much anyways

i'd also leave out the chromis, they're a bit edgy if kept alone and would probably fight with the damsel anyways

otherwise it sounds fine

loose the damsel and the coral banded shrimp.

thanks monsters!!! but one question, is there any other fish/inverts I can add into that tank that will patrol on the bristle worms? AND PLEASE NO ARROW CRABS, not to be rude but...those things are ugly...

 

[BIGgourami]

various wrasses would do the trick... but again.. how big's the tank

 

[Myteemouse]

potters angel is more reef safe just saying
