Any suggestions on what type of fish to get? Do you think a mystery wrasse is too active?
PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

a mystery wrasse, being a copepod eater, will be pretty active but more importantly, aggressive towards some other water column fish. You might look at the three species of pygmy wrasse.

Midas Blenny vs Starry Blenny
Midas Blenny vs Starry Blenny
I have currently a 75g with 30gal sump/refugium. Current inhabitants:
2 Ocellaris
2 Blue-green Chromis
1 Foxface Lo
1 Flame Angel
1 Green Clown Goby
2 Bangaii Cardinals
Various inverts
I wanted to add a Midas Blenny, and possibly at a later time a Starry Blenny. I wasn't sure if they were compatible together, or if they would beat up each other?

What are your thoughts on my bioload? It can handle more? ALso, my clowns are young and are not aggressive at all.. I think the flow in my tank may be too intense for these helfrechi firefish?
since blennies occupy the same ecological niche, they will not be happy if there is a conspecific introduced.

so sandbottom and no small fish?
keeping an animal well fed does not change its genetic disposition to eat foods that are natural for it.
I have a 75g mostly sps.....fish are two false perc clowns, three blue/green chromis, two blue streak cardinals, copperbanded butterfly. Also have a cleaner shrimp, blood shrimp, and sand sifting starfish. I am thinking of adding two more fish......would like to add a dispar anthias and a mimic/chocolate tang. My tank is not covered is there too much risk for the anthias to jump as well?? Thank you! I appreciate your time.

Over time, the chromis are likely to become one or at most two. The anthias is no more likely to jump than any of the other water column fish. Since the CBB is established, the tang introduction should be fine.
Thank you for your reply! I did know that the chromis are likely to become maybe 2 at best......I bought three over 1 year ago.....there was a lot more bullying originally at the start then there is now. My CBB has been in the tank for almost 1 year....he is doing great!! Well, that is i guess after i removed the yellow tang lol he has a new home now....One more question, would it be possible for me to keep more than one dispar anthias? My Lfs got a shipment of about two dozen small guys.....if this matters. Thanks!
It is generally best for a 125 gallon tank for multiple anthias long term. I am not surprised you had to remove the yellow tang.
Ok thanks for the info Steve! I purchased the chocolate tang and dispar anthias.....one chocolate tang is still young and yellow looking.....would you suggest one over the other? One is yellow still and the other two are into their chocolate skin now....still not too old tho cuz they are not very big and have not developed much colour yet.....would you suggest one over the other? My Lfs store owner put his chocolate tang in before his CBB and everything is ok but his tank is much bigger than mine. His chocolate is super nice.....it has some other colours forming now as they eventually can turn into a nice fish. I want it because after I sold my YT, I noticed some algae growing that did not before. Every time I look at the chocolate tang in my Lfs tank it is grazing on something lol.

I do not provide analysis on aggressive tanks; however a trigger is not realistic in a 40 gallon tank
