I sort of broke the whole FOWLR rule and tried a few finger leathers but I give it a week or two and the Angels and butterfly will turn it back into a FOWLR again. I have a 45 Gal sump with a 200 Micron filter sock, two skimmers rated for 250 gallons each, and an 1800 GPH return pump. It's the Angels and Triggers that did it for me, they are my favourite fish, unfortunately Angels will pick at pretty much any coral you put in there. I tried to introduce a GBTA and within days my Blue Angel was trying to tear the tentacles off. Luckily I saved it but you get the idea.
I'd love to see a pic of your blue spiny lobster.

I'll see if I can get one today. It usually hides in a crevice during the day with just two long white antennae sticking out.

Our "Fowlr" with some soft corals has a Porcupine puffer, Sargassum trigger, Purple/Yellow & Powder Brown tangs, Marine betta & a black sailfin blenny.

Sargassum is the most aggressive eater in there.

Porcupine puffer is the most popular & funny fish with us & visitors.

Marine betta is the most beautiful fish in the tank.

Any agression problems with the Sargassum? How about the Marine Betta? I just love those. I haven't seen them for sale for quite some time.
