You already have issues with a foxface and tang. File fish may or may not eat aiptasia.
PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

Sorry, i wont use it again. Thanks, so would i be able to do just the three tangs? and not the foxface? or could i only have two tangs?
TIA
Your planned 200 gallon tank, is pretty well loaded. In a six foot tank, I would do only two algae eaters.

Just upgraded from my 29 Gallon tank (had it for about 3 months) into a 55 gallon about 2 weeks ago!
Set-up:
-Standard 55 gallon tank
-Protein skimmer
-About 70 lbs of live rock (was BRS dry rock, but is fully seeded)
-Sand bed about 3" average coverage
-* soon to be installed 10 Gallon sump/refugium
Current stock
- 2 small ocellaris clowns
- 1 Banggai Cardinal
- 1 Hi fin Goby
- 1 Lawnmower Blenny
- 1 RBT (can't for the life of me get the clowns to host)
Want list (and I'd love suggestions for stuff not on here too)
- 1 Adorned Wrasse
- 1 Hoeven's wrasse (I'd love a pair if I can swing it)
- 1 Snowflake eel
- 1 splendid or springeri Dottyback
- Coral beauty or Flame angel fish (though these sound like they might be too big)
- finally, I'd love a tang of some sort. Are there any tangs or similar fish that could be housed in a 55 gallon? if not, any ideas for a schooling fish (like 5 or 6 little ones) I might be able to get?
Thanks!

Sorry, but I do not provide analysis of aggressive fish community tanks (eel). However, your tank, at 55 gallons, is not a large tank; no tangs will work.

Steve, whats your 2 cents on anthias?! i really like a few species, but have read a fair few threads saying they are very hard to keep are they correct?!? Btw i know this may be a ''piecemeal question'' even though i dont know what that means, but i am just wondering?!
TIA
TIA
Some species of anthias are considered difficult because they require multiple feedings per day. Some species of anthias are considered very difficult and expert only because they are difficult feeders and require nearly constant feeding. A ''piecemeal question'' question is one not in the format of this thread: stocking plan, tank size, tank maturity.
Two spot gobies are very difficult. They require a large sand area, ideally partially sheltered, lots of copepods, and no copepod competitors.

I have a 75 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. I plan to purchase 2 Azure Damsels. Thoughts?

Damsels tend to be aggressive, especially in tanks less than 100 g. May limit tank mates going forward.

Ok. Excluding the eel, and in your experienced opinion how does the rest of the list sound? compatable/too many fish/not reef safe... ?

1 (or a pair) smaller flasher wrasse (or is tank too small?) any flasher wrasse really needs a larger tank
Something to move sand like a goby/pistol shrimp pair
Apparently I missed this one. So sorry.
Mixed LPS/softies/zoas
Eventually a small(ish) nem
My biggest question is if 1 male and 1 female wrasse would work in this size of a tank. Open to any other livestock suggestions/alternatives.

For analysis, I would need tank size and maturity. Order is always: most aggressive last, most peaceful first.
