anthia or wrasse in 30 gal?

[Chyendra]

I was curious if there was a specific species of anthia or wrasse that would do well in a 30 gallon.

I know I want a Royal Gramma & Cinnimon Clownfish but I'm still trying to figure out 1 or 2 last tank mates for them. (I don't have any of the fish yet, just hypothetically because I want to add them in the proper order to reduce aggression)

Also, I've heard blue-green chromis can be aggresive toward each other, but what if there was only one?

Thanks for your thoughts!

highfin perch and fathead sunburst are about the only anthias suitable for a 30g and both are solitary and act nothing like typical anthias. likewise there are only a few wrasses suitable for a 30g (sixline, fourline, yellow coris). perhaps a twin spot hogfish (hogfish are in the wrasse family). A single chromis will be fine but I have seen a large single chromis chase passive fish. cinnomin clown is going to eventually outgrow the 30g as well and probably get a little pugnacious. I have two false percs, a sixline and a pixy hawfish in my 30g.

sunburst anthias will do fine.

How about a flasher wrasse? A filamented or mccoskers? They stay small.

I would love a flasher wrasse, but do they get to big and active for a 30 gallon? thats my question

I have a McCosker's Flasher in my 34g Solana seems to be doing great.
