Need some help stocking my 60G the dimensions are 48x24x12. Looking for reef safe, color and peaceful also my tank is bare bottom...TIA

Currently I have:

5 Green Chromis (2 small, 3 medium to large)
2 clowns (non breeding pair)
1 carpenter wrasse (small)
1 firefish (small)
1 yellow tang (small)
1 fox face rabbit fish (he will be gone because its eating my corals!)

Cryptic wrasse. Not real vibrant colors but changes with mood. Mine goes red to light green to almost clear. Doesn't bother anyone. Wedges himself in the rocks when it's time for bed. I've heard people call them the weirdo wrasse. It will just stop and almost look like it's resting then start cruising again.

LFS just got some in. Pictures don't justify them. Id definitly trade out my potter's if I could catch him.

I would get rid of the foxface, like you are doing. Then I would trade the yellow tang for a yellow coris wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus). Then add a dwarf angel, like a flame, coral beauty, or eiblii.

You recommend just adding a yellow coris wrasse to a bare bottom? And also doesn't flame and coral beauty eat coral? I have to research the eiblii?

Missed the bare bottom part. My fault. I was looking for a more suitable yellow fish to replace the tang. Midas blenny instead?

Dwarf angels usually won't eat coral. There is a chance that they will nip, however. To me it is worth the risk.

An orchid dottyback would be a pretty and active addition. So would a pair/trio of royal grammas or chalk bass.

Lawnmower or a starry blenny blenny is always a riot.
