new frag tank - help me stock it!

[M3P]

as most of you know, it was only a matter of time for me. Pulled the plug on a 24x24x12 deep blue, rimless, reef ready tank. Going to plumb it to my display tank. Flow will be an MP10. Lighting will be an XR15.

I won't have a lid on the tank and was wondering what you guys would recommend for stocking in it as far as fish and CUC. Need things that serve a function and need to avoid things that are flight risks or will pick on corals. Visually interesting livestock is a plus!

Hermits, maybe a dragonface pipefish to prevent pests

Without a cover or netting of some kind, most fish will end up on the floor. My 30x30x12 was a prime example. BRS netting is a must if you keep fish.

That being said, There aren't any fish I'd recommend for cleanup crew as the tank filled with frags just isn't an ideal habitat.

I'd go with a few trochus grazer snails, they live long and don't bulldoze.
