LPS and Fish choices

[Vadafallon]

I am restocking my tank after getting rid of some very angry Clowns. Long story.
Anyway, i have a few leathers and a frog spawn. I will be putting nothing but softies in here and i was wondering if there are any recommendations on what fish to get for a softy tank. Here is the list of what i am going to have and what i want to get.

So far, i have:

Two Bangai Cardinals
Two Black and white Oc clowns ( will not put in the tank until last)
Two cleaner shrimp
The rest is things i want:
Clown Goby
Exquisite wrasse
Diamond Goby
A blenny maybe but not sure which one
Posibbly some chromis (not sure about this yet)

Any other suggestions on what would go well in a lps tank?

Also what are some of the easier LPS's i should look at. I would like to add a few more of those too.

Everything on your list seems to be compatible with the corals in question. I don't see a problem adding some other LPS corals such as a favia/favites, bubble coral, hammer, maybe a chalice either. As far as fish go, you might want to look into a Royal Gramma, Chalk bass, Firefish, perhaps a Cherub angel. GL.

Thanks for the input.

wont the cherub nip. Also no one asked what size tank. Those black and white clowns are trouble in a small tank. I have a 200+ tank and I took mine out after 8mths. To much aggression. Started to bite me also.........................out they went. You don't bite the hand of the person feeding you.

It's pretty much hit & miss with all pygmy angels, but the cherub angel does seem to have the best track record when it comes down to leaving corals alone IMO. Not to mention they do stay pretty small.

Btw, I believe the OP has a 60 gallon cube if I'm not mistaken.

I had a cherub in my 75 gal over 2yrs ago. Just missed him one day. But I love them actually. I love how they play around in the rocks. Still contemplating on if to put one in my tank

Yep 60 gallon cube. Just moved my Bangai down to the 60 last night. I have had to keep them in a small 10 gallon for quite a while. I had to rescue them from my clowns before they got killed. It was very stressful, but the bangai are a pair and have been doing very well in the small tank for over 3 months. I am sure they love the leg room.

I now i have my two cardinals, two chalk bass, two cleaner shrimp and a goby. I might actually had like a chalice in too. Anymore suggestions since i think i might add some sps too. Mix it up a bit.

 

[Vadafallon]

Oh and also i have decided to not get the two black and white clowns. Any suggestions on what clowns to add? I am going to get some small ones so they can grow with the tank.

Ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris), sometimes called False Percula. I have a pair that are great - lots of color, lots of personality, stand their ground, but not aggressive toward other fish.
And they don't get huge, either.
I did have to cover the overflow weir, however, as the female had a bad habit of hopping over to hang out back there.

I agree.
