looks like a great list to me!! good work! there was something about the sally light foots that i dont remember, they kill other shrimp? other craps, something that was bad, stopped me from gettin one, cant remember though.

a pretty good list. the bicolour angel is one of the hardes angels to keep though. i would not get one of these. if you are really wanting an angel check out some of the Genicanthus spp of angels. may not be as pretty, but are reef safe.

sally crabs can become opportunistic when they get big if they do not have enough algae to eat.

ok good to know so lets scrap the crab..........i heard craps are good scavengers though so i want one but what would be good............when i went onto www.thatfishplace.com i dont remember seeing a angel with that description unless i just dont know that terminology...........i do like angels though............i had a regel angel for years in my fish only which lived to the disbelieve of my lfs

the corals should be fine without food, but the feathers are strickly filter feeders, they are worms, there are lots of products that are just great. phytoplankton and zooplankton are good beginners, among many other prepared foods. as for the angels, maybe a coral beauty? flame angel? or a cherub angel, thats just three i can think of, check liveaquaria.com they have a dwarf angel section, and look for some that are easy to keep.

Feather Dusters are strictly filter feeders and don't benefit from light. I would go with a dose of DT's phytoplanton or target feed it with the same stuff about once every 1 or 2 weeks.

the one thing that concerns me is that you already have a yellow tang. yellow tangs can become very aggresive/territorial. This can usually be avoided when the yellow is added last to the tank but seeing how you have him in there already i would watch anyother fish that you add in after him. Just my 2 cents.
