I haven't gotten a giant nobby yet. A stocky cerith is about half the size of the knobby and that thing was a beast. Maybe for the 83...

Let me know how the chitons do. I ordered 4 from the same source a couple years ago and none survived more than 48 hours. All the other inverts did fine, so wasn't something I did.

I've never had long term success for chitons.

Well if it fails I’ll try a sea hare and while Im at it I was thinking maybe a goatfish for the 125? I loved seeing them hunt with bird wrasse in Hawaii

 

[Stang67]

I would avoid goat fish. Always in the substrate and if memory serves get too big for a 125.

 

[danieyella]

Yeah I think most varieties are 1 - super finicky and difficult to keep alive, and 2 - get massive

 

[Slocke]

I was going to go for a smaller species like a bicolor but not seeing much about their care. So I guess not

I'm currently looking for sand sifting friends to help keep the peninsula clean and I'm pretty sure I'm just going to add a couple of the grey/black sea cucumbers and call it a day, there's one in the seahorse cube and he's made an amazing difference.

 

[Stang67]

Fighting conch are great sand sisters. I have 2 wish I got more.

 

[Slocke]

Hey Sand Sister who's that mister mister. On the gonio, brain coral, the way you sift ain't fair you know.

He read my 125 and 70 threads from start to finish.

I'd try a smaller species like a bicolor. I really like the yellow personally, just have to find a healthy juvenile and feed it meaty foods 3+x per day, as they have a high metabolism. Deworm pretty much immediately, they usually have internal parasites, start with a specimen that isn't half starved when you get it and it should be ok.

I want these species for my 240 gallon, if I can find healthy ones.
Yellow Back Goatfish - (Parupeneus barberinus)
Yellow Goatfish - (Parupeneus cyclostoma)

So tank seems to have recovered and I have the money, gift cards, and discount codes to get a massive battle box. Question is when?
