I have a long-horned cowfish, delightful critter, but very docile,
had to get rid of my damsels, obviously. Tankmates are a yellow tang
that seems to mother it, and a six-stripe that is just a wonderful
fish as well. How will a coral beauty do in this tank, with these
fish, based on your experience?

75g FOWLR
60lbs fiji LR
20g sump\ fuge with 15lbs LR and macro
prizm skimmer (yeah, hush, it seems to work, <bg>)
160w NO fluorescent

as far as fish interaction goes it shud be ok, I had no interaction issues but did have
issues with the coral beauty dieing :( but unrelated to cow fish, and 6ish months later.
ive never been able to keep dwarf angels in my FO donno why might be food might be
something else, FAIW I do have a koran in that same FO doing just fine for a while now.
keep in mind the cowfish do get big, and are not quite as docile as mine playes nicely
with 2 damsels(the worse a jewel and velvet) a trigger, lunar wrase, koran and more ....
:D
