Any Stock Ideas?!

[AquariumChicky]

Our setup is a 55-gallon reef. We're running a 216watt T-5 HO fixture, a Marineland C-360 filter, a skimmer, 2 Maxijet 900 powerheads that have rotating heads and are connected to a wavemaker, heater, and a phosban reactor.

We have about 65lbs of LR and about 60lbs of LS.

Stocking is unknown amount of Dwarf Yellow Tip, Dwarf Zebra, and Scarlet Hermit Crabs. Unknown number of Banded Trochus, Margarita, and 1 Zebra Turbo snail. 2 Sand Sifting Seastars, 2 Ocellaris Clowns, 1 Court Jester Goby and 1 Royal Gramma.

Coral-wise we have Pulsing Xenia, Duncan Polyps, Flame Zoas, a Bubble Coral, and a GBTA.

It's a small, peaceful community. Any ideas on stock?

First, get rid of the sand-sifting seastars immediately. They feed on micro-organisms in the sandbed and will quickly starve to death in a 55 gallon. As for fish, I think one or two kaudern's or pajama cardinal fish would be perfect.

For the stars, we target feed liquid invert food every other day and small chunks of various frozen preperations. They have been in there for weeks and are very active and growing. I am keeping a close eye on them, but thanks for the concern.

I was thinking about those... still deciding. I do want to keep it to only 1 or 2 fish, 3 if small.

P.S. I forgot to mention that we have a deep sand bed (4 inches or so at it's deepest).
