Depending on the species of clown, you may or may not be able to add other fish. A bicolor angel is one of the more difficult of the small angels and is not reef safe.
PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

I have a few corals and the bicolor doesn't touch any of them. He was in a tank with coral at the Lfs.what is a less aggressive clown?

i have an undulated trigger and a spotted grouper, moving up to a 300 g sw, what suggestions does anyone have to add to these guys or should i make changes with them?
Amphiprion percula and A. ocellaris are the least aggressive; GSM and clarki the most.
This thread is an expert thread answered only by RC staff, in this case, me. If you want discussion, post your question in the Aggressive fish forum. Undulated triggers are incredibly aggressive and all groupers eat fish smaller than itself. We do not provide recommendations for aggressive tanks. Sorry.

You mentioned that the Scott fairy and red head salon wrasse are aggressive. Are they aggressive towards other fish, corals or both. I like the red head salon but if they can potentially pick corals or at other fish I will just go with mckosker. Can you expand on what you mean by aggressive?
All fairy and flasher wrasses are reef safe. C. scottorum is very aggressive towards other fish, especially other wrasses, and C. solorensis is aggressive towards other fish, especially other wrasses. Both lose some coloration absent a female.
Working on setting up my 125g tank. Currently it has about a 50g sump that will not have any LR or macro algae in. In a few months I would like to setup a 40g breeder tank as a remote fuge that gravity drains back into the DT.
QT tank is a 20g long tank.
I currently have 2 small tank bread Percula clownfish that were raised locally in QT (Only had them 5 days and they are small). One of the clowns is just slightly bigger than the other and they are doing great together right now.
My stocking plans are:
2 percula clownfish
1 flame angel
1 blue hippo tang (I know a 125g is border line for these fish) - at least 1 yrs after tank is setup
1 yellow tang (possibly)
5 purple anthias
1 mandarin - at least 1.5 yrs after remote refuge is setup
1 cleaner shrimp
?? CUC
I want to take things slow as this is my first saltwater tank. After the clowns get out of QT (will be in there for 5 to 6 weeks) what would your recommendation be for next fish purchase? Thinking about the yellow tang or purple anthias next. Have any better suggestions than what is listed above?

Hi,
I just set my tank up, but I'm trying to get an idea of what all I can put it in so I can design it accordingly. I have a 10 gallon with a .75 gallon refugium (will be attached once I buy the pump this week). If I don't have a specific species listed, I'm not terribly picky because I think they all look cool. I figured I would put the dream wishlist up and then make a do-able list. Thanks for the help!
This is my wish list:
Fish:
Firefish Goby
Ocellaris Clownfish
2 Red Spotted Gobies
Inverts:
Astraea Conehead Snail (How many?)
2 Shrimp
Dwarf Colored Feather Duster
Anemone (condy variety?)
Corals:
Polyps
mushrooms
sea fans

29 gallon tank. Refugium with 4" DSB and chaeto algae. Hydor slim skim nano protein skimmer. 2 hydor 425 gph nano pumps. Planning on getting 2 mushrooms, 2 polyps, a hammer coral, 2 clownfish, royal gramma, fire fish, 2 chromis, and invertebrates
That is too much fish for that sized tank. Depending on the species of clown, once sexually mature, they will take over the tank. Subtract the chromis and you may be fine. Remember that firefish WILL jump so your tank must be covered and egg crate will not work.
