Fish Suggestions

[Spyderturbo007]

I'm looking to possibly add another fish to my 55g tank. It is a very passive tank and no one bothers anyone else. I've never seen any aggression between my fish, ever. I would like to keep it that way.

I currently have the following:

1 x Black Onyx Snowflake Clown
1 x Two Spot Bristletooth Tang
2 x Banggai Cardinals

I had a purple firefish, but she died after a run-in with a bristleworm that took up residence in her dart hole. I have not been successful at removing the worm and I don't want to go through that again, so a firefish is out for now. I QT everything, so I think a clownfish is out. I would need to remove the female from the tank and put her in QT with the new male if I got another clown, but I don't want to disturb the clown I have now.

I'm looking for something very peaceful, but that doesn't just sit perched on a rock all day. I was thinking about an Anthias, but I can only feed once a day.

Suggestions?

Flameback angel or potters angel

Maybe a wrasse of some sort. I really like my clown fairy wrasse.

I was thinking of a Potter's Angel, but don't they have a propensity to nip at corals? Live Aquaria also has them listed as Semi-Aggressive.

I almost forgot, I also have a cleaner shrimp.

I have never had an aggresive dwarf angel, especially when it is the only one in a tank and it was the last addition you should have zero problems with it.

As for nipping, I have never kept an angel in a reef tank long term, so I can't give you any advice on that, however there is a thread on here that discusses which angels are the most reef safe. I think it's called 'the angel thread to end all angel threads' just do a quick search for it

Yellowhead jawfish (Opistognathus aurifrons)
Midas Blenny (Ecsenius midas)
Lubbock's Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki)
Red Head/Solar/Clown Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus solorensis)
Tailspot Blenny (Ecsenius stigmatura)

^^^ I like Monkeyfish's list. I would also add yellow "coris" wrasse and substitute Lubbock's wrasses or Blue-sided ones for the solars.
