final live stock addition

[Special K85]

Hi all I currently have a 75 gal tank with 5 chromis, a watchman goby, 2 anthias, and clown. I want to add my last few fish to the tank and am looking for suggestions. I am looking for the centerpiece like fish. I have thought about the flame angel and some of the other dwarf angels. Tank is 7 months old. Have a few zoas in there as well as snails and hermits. Thanks

Flame angel or a coral beauty both would be a awesome addition but only one or the other. I have a CB in my 90 and was considering a flame but they would most likely fight as my CB is somewhat of a bully to anyone new in the tank. With your chromis and anthias generally being open swimmers and in my experience hang closer to the top of the water column I would consider like 1 dwarf angel and maybe 1-2 smaller reef safe flasher or fairy wrasse. I own a linespot flasher who is absolutely stunning and amazing to watch. If he catches his reflection on the back glass or if he swims over near my anthias he flashes at them flicking his dorsal fin up and changes 1/2-3/4 of his body color starting at his dorsal and head down his body from the deep red to a vibrant blue to purple color. He only gets 3”-3 1/2” and gets along with my CB as long as he stays out of her sleeping quarters then she’ll chase him away

Kole tang? These have a lot of personality and they're fun to watch as they bounce from one rock to the other in search of algae growth.

I would add a Flame Hawkfish, Flameback Dwarf Angel, and a Tomini Tang (centerpiece fish).

Some other options, you could do some fairy wrasses, a purple orchid dottyback or a black cap basset.

IMO, both of these needs bigger tanks.

Thanks they are a nice looking fish. Always thought my 75 was a tad small for tangs but maybe not depending on size.

Thanks I would be worried that all these would overstock my tank. I do like the flame angel but i could also add a tang with it and they would get along? They would be need to be added at the same time correct?

+1 to the flame hawkfish they have so much personality, if that's too big you could go with a freckled hawkfish, same personality just smaller.

With your current stock, you will be fine. You will only have like one fish that will get to be around 5".

I would add the Tang last and the dwarf angel second to last.

Would the Komi tang work along with the angel as I like the look of it better

Kole not komi

Yes, the Kole will be fine. Still add last.
