I kind of got excited(stupid) and threw caution to the wind. I put a few of our collected critters into my DT. Here's what I learned in very short order...

1. Large rose urchins will knock over even larger pieces of live rock
(sent it back to QT)
2. Scarlet cleaner shrimps will attack whatever species of starfish that we got
(sent back to QT)
3. File fish will eat ANYTHING except aptasia
For examples: candy cane, zoas, greenstar polyps,anthelias, and even(sadly) Chucks singularia(just a bite or two before I caught him)
(sent back to QT)
4. Pipe fish are STUPID! case in point: I had two, one apparently male and one very much female(and pregnant) see pic below
The female decided to have an affair with a Koralia powerhead and lets just say abortion is no longer an option. Very messy in the tank. Gonna have to to a WC and seriously clean tank tonight.
(sent to toilet)
5. Puffers hate oscellaris clowns. He chases it everywhere and is only a third the clowns size.
(sent back to QT)
