So In the past 3 weeks I’ve lost over 300$ worth of fish... I’m honestly done at this point with fish. Both my systems are basicly fishless, for the exception of a single Chromis in my 40b. I have had enough with all these nice, not to expensive fish dying. The most costly was an orante leopard wrasse who jumped ship. I legit cried when he went. lol but for now On for atleast a year I’m going to stock my tanks with the most hardiest fish in the hobby. I only know of 2 the plain Jain reef Chromis, And regular clownfish. If there are any others aside from damsels plz let me know.
And as far as coral wise Ima let me dad do the sps and I’ll stick with lps ans softies.

Happy reefing

Man, sorry to hear that. Fish can be a struggle. Just stay away from Anthias. They're difficult to keep. Got 3 through extensive QT and then they wouldn't eat in my DT. They need to be fed like 3-4x a day and they're picky. All three got skinny over time and died. Wrasse's jump out without a top as you already know.

A few Hardy fish:

Tangs!
Clownfish
Damsels- haha
Blenny's
Chromis- I'd stay away from these unless it's the other really large species.
Sargent Major's- Come see me...I'll give you a 100% clean one for free. He eating all my food. lol
All Galveston fish are bulletproof. lol....They are tough.
