Ok thank you I appreciate it. I think if I find a nice bristle tooth I'll get it but I won't be searching vigorously. What's your thoughts on a foxface?
PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

Foxface are coral safe ONLY if kept well fed. But since they are grazers, they would be perceived by tangs as competitors within the same ecological niche.

Ok, not exactly new but new to a bigger tank and looking for input. =)
Tank is 40G Breeder with 29G Sump. I'll be running a skimmer rated for 180G probably.
Fish I am considering and added in the order listed:
Ocellaris Clown Pair
Randalli's Goby
Royal Gramma
Starry Blenny
Springer's Damsel
Green Mandarin
I was also looking at a Firefish but I know they can be skittish and would worry about one with a damsel though i've heard some have luck. Maybe add the Firefish also before the damsel and if he is the only one the damsel has problems with put the Firefish in the Fuge?
Trying to get a nice mix of colors from the fish and some interesting fish. =) Thanks for any input!

This thread is only about marine fish compatibility so corals and related should be its own thread.

Hey! So I want to add a fish to my tank, but don't want a very big bioload and don't want one fish to add to much waste.
Tank: 90 gallon (standard) DT with 20 gal sump/fuge, been running for 2.5 years. About 90 lbs live rock, fuge with cheat, calpura, and lots of dinos
Fish now include: Pair of occ clowns, yellow watchman goby, Melanarus wrasse, 4 peppermint shrimp, bubble tip brittle star, and assortment of hermits, snails, chitons.
I would like to add a yellow tang but still want my tank to be fairly "fish-light". Thanks for your help!

Your bioload will be fine, but any zebrasoma tang, once established, will not be happy about additional introductions.

Thanks for the reply. I think a yellow tang will be my last fish, so no worries about aggression.

There is still the problem of tank size and a six line wrasse in order to sustain a mandarin

Fish Purchase Help
After not having a aquarium for a couple years i just ordered a 65 gallon, I am not new to reefs just unfamiliar with some of these fish and don't know about there compatibility etc. And would like some feedback on my intended fish purchases.
Equipment-
tank-DSA neo 65, sump is 28 gallons(actual water volume),reef octopus nw-200 skimmer(had it from a old tank will downgrade to smaller one if it ends up being to big), 40-50 lbs of live rock, bare bottom, carbon and gfo reactor.
Fish-
1 Flame Angel
1 Ocellaris Clownfish
4 Resplendent Anthias
1 Swissguard Basslet
Tank is still in the planning stage at the moment, and i'm aware that i will have to put some kind of mesh top on the tank for the anthias.
Thanks for your time and I appreciate any feed back.

I'm thinking of adding one (or two if that would be better)Benggai cardinals to my 125g tank. Current inhabitants include a yellow eyed Kole tang, hippo tang, orange line chromis, blue green chromis, royal gramma, and a blue spotted sharpnose puffer. The puffer has shown zero aggression (no nipped fins, of course everyone in tank is much faster than him)towards tank mates, other than snails and zoos. However he was also the last fish added.
