Just a crazy eel guy, LMAS
It's been fine with 2 weeks to ago until I've had him a year. Mines a very picky eater and has never touched any type of fish, loves fresh clams, squid, and octopus. Tried cleaner shrimp and if more than 1, 1 would get eaten every other month, 1 lived for about 6 months. But he has left my hermits, snails, peppermint shrimp, and fish alone (they all sleep within his den area, firefish to wrasses).Is the chainlink reef safe Duke?

How big was the 1 you saw?
It's hard for me to estimate size but I'm gonna say about 15" long

Declivis Butterfly
Nice, how this is doing with reef?
Doesn't touch a thing, other than taking care of pesky aptasia. A lot of butterfly's get a bad rap for being difficult to care for and not being reef safe. However from my experience many of Chaetodon species is certainly worth giving a go. ( C. tinkeri, C. mitratus, C. declivis, C. burgess) along with the Forcipiger the Chelmon. Would love to see more of these guys in the hobby.
Beautiful Mako! Which Chelmon species is that?
Of course! Can't believe I didn't recognize them. I wanted one very badly because of their reputation for being much easier to keep than CBB but I've been looking for one for 3 years and have never seen one. Wherever did you find them?

Three!!!
Only three???
Sorry, I can't do it.
There're so many "nice, peaceful and reef safe" fish that I like that I couldn't possibly limit it to three.
Now, if you made it the "Top 3 Ecsenius sp. Blennies for a Nano Tank", then I could possibly make it a top three list; possibly.

Picture on the right is a Potter's wrasse (Macropharyngodon geoffroyi), the fish on the left isn't a wrasse it's a Potter's dwarf angel(Centropyge potteri). Both live on the same reefs in Hawaii.
It's hard to select only three.
In my tank I would say my scarus quoyi parrotfish, pylei wrasse and hippo tang.
Scarus quoyi is awsome, beautiful, easy, active, funny and very social.
Pylei wrasse can be so attractive in details, a must for wrasse lover.
Hippo tang is classical, but so perfect, pure beauty, strong color, often very peaceful, very active and funny.
