Aggressive reef tank

[stl_rock_guy]

I have a 6ft 150 gallon reef tank. I currently have 2 Allards clown fish(clarkii complex) and a wheelers goby paired with a pistol shrimp. It's a mixed reef that is mainly SPS/LPS. My clowns seem to be really aggressive and was wondering what other fish would go well with them. Thanks for any advice

I would think dottybacks could hold their own

I checked a few of those out.

Royal grammas are cranky at anything that gets near their cave, I think they'd do fine. They might eat particularly small shrimp, though.
Hmm... I bet some larger blennies would work.

Melanurus Wrasse, Orchid Dottyback, Purple Tang... Midas Blenny.. Hmm

A tang or two should do fine.

I have a potters angel, yellow watchman, fuzzy dwarf lionfish, and a coral banded shrimp that somehow deal with my obnoxious 5" maroon clown in my 60.

Just keep an eye on the shrimpgoby. He's tiny. I mean, he'll have a burrow to duck into, but if he's being stressed you should probably bottle-trap him, maybe replace him with a good big yellow watchman. My LFS has a yellow watchman who's at least 5" long!

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have many options to look into. I do want a tang or two but haven't had much luck with them so far

Here's my "semi-aggressive reef" inhabitants:

Yellow tang
Kole tang
royal gramma
ocelaris clown
starki damsel
blue green chromis
flame hawk

I planned my stock around my royal gramma who is a bit territorial. It's survived 2 tank moves and I became attached to it. So rather than getting rid of the gramma I just planned a semi aggressive reef. Every body gets along just fine in my 180.

Here is what I think I'm going to add, melanurus wrasse, royal gramma, Midas blenny, and a sailfin tang. Maybe a long nose hawk fish.

What makes them with caution. I plan on having a clam in October. My 1 year mark on the tank
