One more fish, which?

[techigirl78]

I currently have the following in a 90 with a 75 gal sump/refugium attached:

- Elegant Wrasse - Coris Venusta
- Hoeven's Wrasse - Halichoeres Melanarus
- Five Bar Mystery Wrasse
- Midas Blenny

I want one more fish, but I'm not sure. I don't really want a tang in my 90. Any suggestions?

Firefish might look nice.
Fairy/flasher wrasse.
Yellow watchman goby

Guess you think much like me. I'm fairly sure the other three wrasses would beat the heck out of a fairy/flasher wrasse. I question having the midas with a firefish. I was thinking a pink spotted watchman goby, but wasn't sure if the wrasses would mess with one as two of them bury at night.

Would a pseudochromis work? Hawkfish? I already plan on only having snails as I'm not sure about tempting the coris with crabs or shrimp.

I don't have a suggestion, but could you post a pic of your Hoeven's Wrasse? I was thinking about gettting one, but I want to see what they look like in an aquarium.

try a blue acessor bassalet, I have one and he is very cool. A dark navy blue, and looks like he could be evil but is nothing but a model citizen. Plus some swim upside down. Mine does not do that unfortunately.

How about a coral beauty? Or any other dwarf angel.

Here's my Hoeven's Wrasse (female), not a very good pic, but you get the idea. They do change coloration as they turn into males:

Can the assessor hold its own against more agressive feeders? I'm hesitant about a angel, but that may end up being what I get.

I would pass on the pseudochromis, It might have a problem with your Wrasses
I also think a Dwarf Angel would be nice

I figured that about the pseudochromis, just wishful thinking I suppose. Oh well, another tank for one of those will be needed.

Is it better to get an angel when it is smaller for a reef tank? I'm thinking I'm split between two possibilities, a flame hawkfish (my fiance' likes hawkfish) or drawf angel (flame, pygmy, or potter's). I'll think about it for awhile. If anyone else has some ideas, let me know. Thanks!
