29g LPS/Clam/Fish/Invert Tank

[pat_man_ta]

Hi, I'm looking to stock my 29g for primarily LPS.

I would like some input on what Fish and Inverts to stock or avoid.

I currently have:
1 Blue Neon Goby
1 Bicolor Blenny

I plan on adding (potentially):
1 or 2 Black Percula Clown
1 Flame Hawkfish
1 or 2 Chalk Basslets
or
1 or 2 Bagganai Cardinalfish

The Black perc(s) are pretty much a lock because they are coming from a friend who has a small flock. What else out of that list is or is not a good idea? Any other fish stocking suggestions?

I am in the process of a decent sized reef cleaner buy for this and my other little tanks. The package includes:

Scarlet Hermit Crab: 20
Turbo/Astrea Snail: 20
Blueleg Hermit Crab: 20
Emerald Crab: 3
Cleaner Shrimp: 1
Cleaner Clam: 2

Is there anything I should leave out of this tank or anything else I should get?

Thanks!

way too many crabs if you ask me. i would do 5-10 scarlets 1 or 2 blue legs, zero emerald crabs, zero shrimp if you are doing hawkfish, 5 astrea snails, 5 cerith snails, 5 nassarius snails.

as for fish, no more than 6 small fish in a 30. the goby and blenny you have plus 2 cardinals or 2 percs is plenty

I tend to dislike hermits because they get too curious and sometimes make war on snails. I'm seeing wisdom there for sure!
Why no emeralds?

How bout this:
1 Neon Goby
1 Bicolor Blenny
1 Black Perc
2 Chalk bass or Bagganai Cardinal
1 small juvenile flame hawk (i've heard this can prevent shrimp aggression)

What about this package:
Scarlet Hermit Crab: 10
Blueleg Hermit Crab: 10
Nasssarius Snail: 10
Brittle Starfish: 2
Coral Banded Shrimp: 1
Emerald Crab: 3
Turbo/Astrea Snail: 20
Cleaner Clam: 2

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have a 10g that needs some critters. The 10 only has polyp corals. Overstock would be split between there and my 5.5.

my emerald crab was an absolute terror. attacked corals, fish, whatever he could get his claws on. some poeple have never had a problem with their, but why take the risk ... i use to live in somerville and know a bunch of kids there who would have similar avatars to yours ... what nightclub do you promote for?
