Need help matching fish combo

Reefflections

New member
I need some info as for new additions,being added.This is a list been tossing around.But not sure,if there will a conflict of interests here.I have a 240 gallon reef with SPS,and a few Zoo's and clams.
Here is a small list I have now
1.Purple Tang
2.Fox Face
3.4 line wrasse
4.and unkown tang/no pics.
So I have the room,but don't want a all out war to take place either.Here is a list I'm looking at.Would like to hear eveyones input here.And keeping any of these fish.

1.Klunzingers wrasse
2.swallowtail angel
3.leopard wrasse
4.lyretail hog fish
5.canary blennie
6.watchman goby or white rayed goby
7.Anthias,not sure which group of these to go with.Being there is a pecking order,and some are hard to get to eat.So which ones and how many as a group.

Yea, I know it's nice spending someone else money.Some of these won't be on the list.Just trying to find out,who get's along with who.And which ones,seem to thrive in our system long term.
Thanks for all your help,to achieve this peacefull conditions here.Or any other suggestions here,would help also.Just trying to give a nice blend of color,with different fish.

The lyretail hogfish can be pretty aggressive and may eat your white rayed goby for breakfast :) I'm sure there's someone keeping them in a peaceful community tank who is going to disagree with me but IMO they are more suited for an aggressive tank and doesn't really fit into your list ;)

For the Anthias, if you want to get a harem group then buy around 8 females of the same species. Lyretails and Bartletts are a good choice. You can also buy single males of different species, IME single males are perfectly happy and co-exist peacefully with many other Anthias species... a mix of single males can make quite a nice colorful display :)
 
That's really nice to know about the Anthias,with all males.And used different species.I will for sure keep that in mind,when it comes to these guys.
Was a little concern with the Wrasse family also.The 4 line,mixing with Klunzinger's,and Leopard wrasse.Because I know some Wrasse can be a terror,in a reef tank.When it comes to getting along.Also some of those Tangs,can be bullies.
I tried to put a Copperband butterfly in one time.And the Tangs,it was all out WAR...
But thanks for the heads up.It's nice to know what to get,before hand.
