Medium sized aggressive tank upgrade

[94Roarge]

If you remember earlier in this thread I almost got to put 2 toads together, well now I have the opportunity!

 

[94Roarge]

Aaaaand now I have 3 aha

How would you say that this wrasse would get along with others?

Medium aggression, but should be fine.

Could you confirm the I.D. for me? Pteragogus enneacanthus?

Looks like it, could also be P. cryptus.

Looks like it, could also be P. cryptus.

Would I be right to think the cryptus wouldn't get this size?

 

[eatbreakfast]

I usually base it on that cryptus has a "stubbier" look to it, but it is hard to tell length when he is angled toward the camera.

 

[94Roarge]

I'd say 6-7"

 

[eatbreakfast]

Yeah, that's to big for cryptus.

 

[94Roarge]

Oh sweet. How much more growth would I be looking at for this one? 1-2"?

 

[eatbreakfast]

Maybe, it's pretty close to max size now.

What species is this?

What species is this?

TBH, I'm not 100% sure. It's definitely in the family Serranidae. Looks like a large Plectranthias. Does it perch or does it stay in the water column?

 

[94Roarge]

It perches, behaviour is similar to a hawkfish but I didn't notice any aggression

What kind of corals are tobies least likely to nip at? The fingerprint has so far left morphs and nems alone [emoji14]

Anemones are usually left alone, as are Euphyllias.

The corals that are most likely to get nipped are fleshy brains, such as wellsos, acans, and blastos. Beyond that it is case-by-case. I've had a few nip sps, where most ignore sps, I've had one nip polyps on toadstools, all others ignored leathers, zoas are hit-and-miss, mushrooms are left alone.

 

[94Roarge]

So leathers are a good bet?

So leathers are a good bet?

In most cases, yes.
