Hello!
I have a 240 gallon Oceanic RR tank with Oceanic SumpII...I have 4 different types of star polyps, a large brain, large elegance, watermelon coral, and cabbage leather...I have about 500 lbs rock...about a 3 inch substrate base...and I have 3 tangs, 2 fox faced rabbits, coral beauty, blue spotted nasa, several damsels, pink-spotted watchman and a lawnmower, sand stars, scarlet hermits and blue-legged hermits...DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT (if any) I COULD ADD TO THIS MIXTURE? Any and all suggestions would be welcomed!
Thanks!

both of you sound like your pretty much at your limit. the henoc's would be beat to death by the other fish in your tank wjake... plus the fish you have in there are gonna get big (if they haven't already.
i would stick with what you both have for now. Jenn, i would even say take about 1/3rd to 1/2 of your LR out and that will give the fish more room to swim and then you might be able to add something...

re: LR removal & Coral Question
Thanks for the input!
Remove some LR?? LOL...a few of my local friends said I need to ADD more! I have 240 gallons...and it is 8 ft long x 3 ft wide.
I have another question...my large elegance coral is not coming out for about a week...its tenicles look like they have shriveld up and died...but occassionaly I see a LITTLE movement inside its shell (it looks like a large clam)...anything I can do for it? Or just let it be for a while?
THANKS!
Jenn

move the elegance to a nice dark spot with minimal light. it may be diseased and if that is the case then kiss it goodbuy.
can you post a picture of your tank so we can see?
