Another what should I stock thread - 1 year old 180g tank

[kawicivic]

I currently have:

Regal/Blue Tang
Yellow Tang
Blue Eye Kole Tang
Royal Gramma
Spotted Mandarin

I have my eyes open for:
1-2 Blennies - midas and tailspot probably
Wrasse - green coris or six line maybe (not sure on these - I really like my shrimp so whatever I choose must not be a danger to them)

Do you have any other suggestions. I thought about trying to find a bangai pair as well.

I have 180g tank with 75 gallon fuge and 40b sump. Currently SPS and LPS dominated. I like my inverts as stated above, therefore do not want anything that will eat crabs, shrimp, snails etc. I am wary of anthias as I travel for work frequently and fear that I could not maintain their feeding regimen. I have stayed away from damsels for the sake of the fact that I see more threads about trying to get them out of the tank vs. keeping them. I have been keeping SW aquariums for awhile and have my water quality down. I just want to make the tank a little more lively.

Let the suggestions start coming!!

I have both of the listed Blennies in my 115.

I tried a Yellow Coris once, it worked out for a while, but he aquired a taste for inverts.

Gobies are one of my favorite reef inhabitants, Maybe a Zebra Moray Eel, they are good reef dwellers, if you are looking for something like that.A Leopard wrasse pair would be awesome.

Are leopard wrasses better with inverts? So many of the wrasses seem to be hit or miss depending on temperament.

How are the blennies together? I know they don't like similar shaped fish, but I never had any issues with my Midas in my 75 as long as it had its own area. I don't want to overstock too much because I find fish seem to be more active and less skittish when given their space.

My Midas is the dominant Blenny of the 2, but they don't conflict.Leopard Wrasses are one of the more finicky Wrasses, They are invert safe, as far as Wrasses go.

One of my favorite fish are mandarin gobys. I have a pair in my 150g, boys have a longer fin up top. From what I have read leopard wrasse are hard to find eating and six line wrasse from what I have read can be aggressive. Look into flashers and fairys.

I would recommend a leopard wrasse, very active fish that adds a lot of life to the aquarium. I also love my yellow coris, I have a fully stocked 120 and my yellow coris wrasse just sticks out. So far mine has left my shrimp alone. The leopards are define toy reef Nd invert safe. Although these guys would most certainly compete with the mandarin for food. However, I would not have a reef without a yellow coris due to their taste for eating unwanted pests.
