Hey, good for you. It's so exciting to see new fish swimming around. I'd love to go to a bag sale, but no one around here has one. Of course, I'm just about full as it is...

Not sure if you knew this, but...
From liveaquaria.com: As the Dragon Wrasse matures it will eat crustaceans, snails, shrimp, starfish, smaller fish, worms, and other invertebrates. It also moves the corals and rearranges the rocks in the aquarium to find food. The aquarium should also have a tight-fitting lid to prevent it from jumping out. It also says they get up to a foot long.

ok, well i just looked these guys up and found out that both do get big :( but the dragon does not need that big of a tank. The web sight said min of 40 gal. but they are fairly small now and if they grow out I will jsut have to give them away. Im looking at this dragon right now and it has a big old peice of rock in its mouth, lol. thanks guy feel free to speak out and give me ideas about the fish...thanks

It was great to see you there Sean. Really nice to meet you. I think I forgot to say, my name is Michael *celebrate
Glad to hear you have some company for your crabs now. I wouldn't worry about not providing the minimum tank size. They'll do fine for a while and as you said, you have the perfect opportunity for exchanging them as and when the need arises.
I decided not to get that yellow tang in the end. I figured I could find one cheaper elsewhere, dispite the sale and the lack of HLLE.
I grabbed a gorgeous red coris/clown wrasse instead. He's beautiful. I can't belive noone else had snagged him up. His colours are spectacular. Bright orange, yellow, red, green, deep sea and electric blue.
He has settled in well, is bright and active and is feeding. I was concerned the first night when the lights went out and I found my monster arrow crab stalking over him, (have lost 3 sleeping engineer gobies to him) so I decided to move the crab to my sump. The wrasse is now burying himself at night so I'm hoping he's gonna continue to do so so that it might be safe to put the crab back in the main display. Hope so.

Naso will eventually need a bigger tank....you should be fine with the dragon wrasse i know a few people who have them in reef tanks w/crabs and small fish.
