80 gallon cube...fish ideas?

[75gal]

Hi everyone! I'm almost a year into my reef build and I'm trying to get a fish list for the spring. So far I have a firefish, an algae blenny, a coral beauty, and now just one blue chromis. There seem to be a lot of compatability issues with most fish Im looking at and I'd like some recommendations other than clowns (which I will be getting anyway). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Tom

Fairy wrasse, longnosed or flame hawkish, jawfish if you can seal the top off.

Flasher wrasse, some type of basslet (black cap, gramma, assessor) , maybe a shrimp goby pair.

Can I get a gramma with my blenny?

That sound nice a coral beauty is very nice I've had mine for about 3 years. And I would get a couple clowns but get them in 2'S or 4's so they have a pair. And manage a good clean up crew just incase things get out of hand with algae like most tanks. And I reccomend a hippo tang because of their beauty. Good luck!

But just stay away from damsels they get very territorial and if you end up wanting to get one. Get it as your last fish so it doesn't get territorial and harm new fish.

I feel like they are trolling you about the hippo tang. It's really hard to tell. Either way, do not get a hippo. They get very large and are too active/aggressive for your tank. I'd say all tangs are off limits in an 80g cube because your tank length is so small.

+1. I wouldn't do any tangs personally. Fairy or flasher wrasse, basslet( always love grammas), goby/shrimp pair. I'm getting a jawfish for the first time in a few months. They need a deep sand bed though. Are you planning on keeping inverts? Shrimp, crabs

I do keep inverts. Just assorted hermits and snails. I do want a shrimp but haven't had luck. And yeah I unfortunately am very aware about my tang situation as I like to keep a happy livestock. What about Anthias? Would they be a problem with my livestock?

You could get a single anthias, like a sunburst/fathead anthias. But I don't think you can do a group in there.

Fairy wrasse. A Midas Blenny would be good but you already have a Algea Blenny so I wouldn't add a Midas Blenny.
