Em... you decide for yourself but something that will swim in the mid lvl will make the tank more lively. Not the hiding type.

Yes Royal Gramma is highly recommended. It's stunningly beautiful and pretty easy to mix with others, just make sure u only buy 1 RG, not 2 lol.

You know what? Strange things do happen in nature... sometimes just makes me wanna throw all the books written by professors, biologists and aquarists away! And I still think books are overpriced in Singapore.

Is it better to introduce a pair? I know this species can tolerate more than one specimen... well, ok I will go AM and get another one. They have the really small ones @ quite affordable price too.

Sorry :off:

Zoos are nice and easy to keep. Especially if you find some suitable pieces to fill up your frontal sand bed area. You can have an orange one on the left... and perhaps a black one on the right. I am thinking of getting a piece of black zoos coz they are so cool! Oh some pieces come with mixture of 3 colours... maybe that can look interesting in your tank.

For mushies, try to look for some with colours (say purple or green). I bought a piece of brown mushroom, although opening up nicely, sorta doesn't stand out much coz it blends into the LR. Wish I bought the green one instead.

Plates I heard not very lasting, prob 1 year or so. I bought my Zoos from AquaMarin. Saw a lot of nice Zoos at Reborn yesterday. Henry doesn't have it (were there last Fri).

I guess hammers are fine... I'm planning to add in later too.

Wow! Nice. I saw a lot of ###### Shrimp at AM just now. They are extremely tiny. Will they grow larger? Coz they do look like breakfast, yum yum.
