I have a 46 gallon reef setup with live rock and sand, a christmas wrasse, tomato clown with anemone, scooter blenny and blue damsel. Corals are xenia polyps, yellow polyps, and a few mushrooms. There's a mithrax (i think) crab who I only see at night. While I have the live rock, I don't have much for algae or detritus control. I suspect I'll add a tang for algae control, but wondering if anyone can recommend something else that the wrasse won't go after. He's about 3" long and is doing well so far. Everyone eats flake readily, and I'm supplementing with mysis. I realize I've limited myself with the wrasse, but he's a hit with the family.
