Only sponges, starfish shouldn't really be exposed but better than sponges.

Yeah I would use the technique people use to move puffer fish. Just fill up a container with the tank water you acclimated the fish to and put the fish in the container so it is always in the water. This is freshwater but it still gives you the general idea of how to do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Here are some pics of the starfish and my clowns

This is not directly related, but it’s almost as if nature was playing around with Tangs. Tangs are known for not having the optimal attributes for fighting disease, yet their cousins, the Foxface, are known for having one of the thickest slime coats among all fish. I wonder why.....

Maybe it’s because Tangs tend to live further offshore, while Rabbitfish often inhabit lagoons and closer coastal waters and thus more exposed to endogenous and exogenous attacks?

Hey NC122606, are you still here? I was wondering if I could add a coral banded shrimp to the list, I will introduce the coral banded and cleaner at the same time, is that alright?

Oh sorry, introducing them at the same time seems fine. Just watch that the CBS does not do anything, because I heard they can get a bit mean and kill other shrimp.

I have some imput if you were still contemplating an eel.

A snowflakes max size is roughly 60cm (2'). It miiiiight be able to do in a 40, but it would definitely be a pretty big bioload on the system. A smaller one would be fine if you plan on upgrading to a larger tank in the future.

I have a different species of moray, but currently a similar size to a snowflake. It has never touched a snail or hermit crab. However it will eat the heck out of regular crabs and shrimp.
