Helpful Reef Fish

[msujohn]

I'd like to get a better understanding of what fish are beneficial to add to your reef tank. For instance, Yellow Eye Koles are good for algae, Melanarus Wrasse good for snails, etc.

I have a 90 gallon and currently have 2 clowns, 1 long nose hawk, and 1 orchid dottyback. My CUC is an all snail based as well.

I do plan on adding the tang and wrasse that I mentioned above. What other fish should I be looking at that will benefit the system.

Should the tang be the last fish that I add?

some sort of goby will keep your sand stirred up. there are fish that eat bubble algae, i think a foxface is one but i'm not entirely sure about that.

yes, the tang should be the last addition although i have added several fish subsequent to my kole tang and didn't have a single problem.
