Thanks folks, they're just examples but I'll try and get some more. I just acquired a new piece of coral that I think is pretty rare.

I would have never thought a Frog fish, Lion and sea horses would be able to exist in the same tank

There's also an eel and an engineer goby in there too. They actually make a good balance. The lionfish and frogfish usually stay away from smaller food which the seahorse feeds on. The engineer goby is very timid and doesn't present much competition. The eel can't seem to get food on his own except for excess food that gets caught in the overflow strainer which he keeps clean. Nobody fights and for the most part are pretty courteous. The only problem comes from the frogfish who obviously doesn't know his limits, if someone were to grab his food before he gets it he'll inhale that someone, even if it's way too big for him. luckily once he realizes it's too big he'll spit it out. So far he's tried to eat the seahorse and the ribbon eel.

It was expensive but actually priced pretty competitive compared to elsewhere.
