Do these all sound okay together?

1- pair of maroon clowns
1- hi fin red banded goby
3- green chromis
1- diadema pseudochromis
1- coral banded shrimp
1- randalls pistol shrimp (paired with the goby)
1- mandarin goby (added later)
1- crocea clam
1- derasa clam
1- orange linkia starfish
1- longnose hawkfish or pixy hawkfish???(which would be better)

This tank would have a mix of lps,sps,and some various zoas and shrooms.

Thanks
 
I don't know if a hawkfish would tangle with a coral banded shrimp (one of the bigger shrimp available), but they are known to sometimes eat other shrimp. I'd check up on that.
 
Longnose

Longnose

I've had a longnose with both a cleaner shrimp and a coral banded for about 2 years now no problems. However, he will gobble up peppermint shrimp as fast as you can drop em in. Other than that I find him to be friendly with everyone else with lots of personality
 
Sounds like a good list for a 58g. P. diadema can be a fairly nasty fish, and it may eventually compete for food with your mandarin, as pseudochromids are efficient predators of small invertebrates. I have a piar of P. fridmani in my 58g, and they are tough on the pod population. Grammas (G. loreto has similar colors to the dottyback you want) may be a good substitute though.

i bought it used from a guy near percy priest. Its an older one with the corner overflow i like the new ones the have a slim center overflow that does not take up a whole corner of the tank
