Im looking for help stocking this bad boy. Im looking to go coral heavy with 4-5 friendly and very colorful fish, possibly another melanurus because I am in live with this fish. What would you do? Im not sure that the big boy would play well with smaller wrasse's or clowns but id love a pair of Mccoskers, or onyx clowns.

I do feel like a need more LR and id like to build my structure higher and thicker but I have been having a hard time with ahdesives and LR. I like the look of a tank jam packed with LR.

Corals:
Goneopora
frogspawn X2 since I fragged it once
misc zoas X3 fragged twice
Hairy mushroom
Acro
monti
clove polyp X2 fragged once
random polyp moon rock looking thing

Melanurus Wrasse 4" (absolutely love this guy)

According to live aquaria you should be fine with 2 of them. You should also be fine with a pair of clowns. Live aquaria says to keep them with peaceful tank mates. As far as your rock work I think it looks good as is. I love a lot of rock in a tank too but it's way harder to keep clean in my experience. I have minimal rock work in my 40b and it's very easy to keep clean. I had a ton of rock in my 75 and it built up detritus like there was no tomorrow lol. All depends on what you want though more than anything but for what it's worth, like I already said, I like your rock work as is.
