Fishes in SPS tank

[calvinci]

hi, what's the ideal fish that enjoy the random and strong flow in SPS tank? My tang and flame angel doesn't seems to enjoy the flow.

They should get used to it.

What kind of tang? Tangs and surgeonfish are the epitome of surge zone fish. They aren't going to waste energy swimming hard if they don't need to though. So either the water flow in that area is just too strong, or the fish is just hanging out in a place that is easier to swim.

How do wrasses do in high/random flow? My LFS recently got some Carpenter Wrasses, so I'm not sure if they'd like it in my tank 70 Mixed Reef.

That species usually lives in rubble areas where the current is fairly moderate. Other species can be found on forereefs and reef crests though (Labridae is a big family).

Clowns are fine (percs), like said earlier your fish should get used to it.

my tank is 100g, with 1 blue tang, 1 yellow tang, 1 flame angel, 2 clown and 1 bicolor dottyback. Thinking of get rid of the tang and replace with school of chromis or anthias, how many chromis should I get?
