hey everyone! my B-Day is coming up (month from today!) so im trying to figure out what to do w/ the money i get. I was thinking about either a filamented flasher wrasse or a banded possum wrasse, but it says they like to jump out and i dont have/want a canopy. What do ya think? was also thinking either a neon blue or a hector goby. maybe a pair of true perc clown fish (are they much harder to keep than the falso percs?). Any suggestions on other fish i might want to check out? im mostly looking for color and personality.

Im also going to be getting my first corals. would these be good corals to start out w/ having 110 watts pc in a 35 gallon tank?

thank you very much

My vote is for one clown. I've had both types of clowns and either is pretty hardy. I would suggest a TR Ocellaris though...a little more $, but very hardy and less impact on the wild reefs. I wouldn't add more than one fish at a time to a tank that size.

What kind of corals are you looking at? For starters, I'd go with any of the following:
Cladiella (colt)
Finger Leather (sinularia)
Toadstool (sarcophyton)
Mushrooms (discosoma)
Green Star Poylps (pachyclavularia)
Yellow Polyps (parazoanthus)
Any of these should do well for you.
