Ive had foxface in the past and they were reef safe, but like chk4tix said its hit and miss. I love them though! ]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:21:12 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32982&PID=296649&title=new-tank#296649 <![CDATA[New tank : Since everyone else answered the...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32982&PID=296644&title=new-tank#296644 Author: chk4tix

Since everyone else answered the cleanupi crew question. I will respond to the Foxface question.  I had a foxface for about 2 years with no problems besides being picked on by my yellow tang.  Like most "reefsafe" fish, it can be hit or miss if they will snack on your corals.  However I think with the fish selection you have you should be fine adding corals to your tank.  What kind of lighting do you have?]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:06:37 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32982&PID=296644&title=new-tank#296644 <![CDATA[New tank : I agree with Will.

I agree with Will. Astreas, nerites, blue-leg or scarlet hermits and I would do without the sand sifting star and cucumber in that small and new of a tank.

For cleanup crew I like Blue Leg, Red Leg, or Scarlet Hermit crabs, Astrea Snails and Nerite Snails.  I don't suggest the sand sifting stars in a tank as small as yours as they will surely starve to death quickly.  I DO suggest Serpent or Brittle Stars because they creepy and cool.Wink]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:34:51 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32982&PID=296626&title=new-tank#296626 <![CDATA[New tank : I would go get a standard clean...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32982&PID=296618&title=new-tank#296618 Author: Andreason

I would go get a standard clean up crew, they usually have packages at the store according to your tank size. I prefer the sand sifting star or cucumber, because I think serpent stars are the creepiest thing out there. I avoid the emerald crabs (cant even tell you how many problems we have had with crabs). Then the usual hermit crabs and snails. ]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:42:19 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32982&PID=296618&title=new-tank#296618 <![CDATA[New tank : I&#039;ve just set up an established...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32982&PID=296606&title=new-tank#296606 Author: mandjhaley

I've just set up an established 37gal FOWLR, what kind of cleaning crew do I need. Current occupants:
1 black damsel
1 yellow tang
1 yellow eyed tang
1 foxface
1 green chromis
The yellow tang seems to be the most "bossy" but everyone seems to get along. Black damsel leaves everyone alone as far as I can tell. Are corals going to be ok with those fish? I've heard the foxface isn't the most reefsafe, what do you guys think?
