These pleasant little clowns are a beautiful shade of light orange with a thick white stripe that runs from the snout to the tail. A hardy but bashful fish, the Orange Skunk Clownfish will establish an area of territoriality. Clownfish are generally not fussy eaters, and will accept a range of frozen and prepared foods like flakes, pellets, and frozen formulas. They can benefit from some plant matter in their diet, although they are not considered herbivores. Tankraised clowns can be more resistant to aquarium diseases like Oodinium that can affect clownfish and other tank residents. Although the interaction between anemones and clownfish is amusing to watch, it is not necessary to the survival of either animal. Tankraised fish may not immediately bond with a host anemone, though Orange Skunk clowns may bond with Carpet, Long-Tentacled, or Bubble-Tipped Anemones with time.

The Fiji Foxface has a half black and half yellow body. The “nose” is long and they have a venomous row of dorsal spines. The Fiji Foxface is an attractive addition to a community marine aquarium that also works hard to earn its keep – the Fiji Foxface is an excellent algae eater. These fish help to control nuisance algae like hair algae and will also trim ornamental macro-algae like Caulerpa. Foxface are peaceful fish but are easily frightened by aggressive or very active fish. They can be kept with most other community fish like damsels, gobies, tangs, clownfish and fish with a similar temperament. They are not fussy eaters and will accept most prepared or frozen foods. Be sure to provide plenty of algae to keep your foxface healthy. Take care when working with or around this fish as the spines along its dorsal fin are venomous.

Nassarius snails are scavenging snails that will gladly eat most types of fish waste, detritus, and leftover food.

In their foraging, they will also help aerate the substrate by constantly moving through it, thus preventing dead spots from forming. They are harmless to other invertebrates, and are a great addtion to any reef or fish only tank.

Zebra hermits are named so for the black and white bands that adorn their legs. They feed readily on filamentous algae or small meaty foods and for this reason are excellent in an aquarium to help keep clean up. These hermits are reef safe, but may predate on snails for shells if extras are unavailable. In conjunction with other hermit crabs, they can make any aquarium well maintained and lively to watch.

The Naso Tang, or Lipstick Tang, has red or orange lips and a yellow-edged, black mask that covers the snout and eyes. The body is grey-brown and often lighter on the dorsal side. The dorsal fin is black or orange depending on where the fish was collected. The anal fin is orange with blue and black trim and the base of the tail is orange, and the tail itself has a yellow vertical edge. .Like other tangs, these fish are omnivores. They need plenty of algae and other greens in their diet to keep them healthy, but will also eat small bits of meaty foods. Algae can be provided in the form of Spirulina, formula foods, dried marine algae on clips as a frequent treat, or through live algae grown in the tank or in a refugium. Tangs are generally community fish and get along with most other tankmates. They do not bother corals and can actually help keep nuisance algae trimmed and under control. Tangs may get territorial and aggressive towards similar tangs, so always use caution when keeping these fish together.
