Ok so I currently have a 40 breeder and at a loss for what to stock it with. I have majority of SPS corals. Currently I have a Ruby-head wrasse and Strayy Blenny.

Im considering a designer clown based on what I can find avaialble, but would like a black ice clown.

So other than that, Im at a loss for any other fish. No dragonettes as I have 2 of them and they are enough work in my other tank, I dont wanna add anymore.

Would another wrasse be a problem?

No hawkfish as I like my shrimp.

One fish I would like is a Blue Assessor so he is on my list.

Any suggestions? Any thoughts on a pygmy angel? Ive always wanted a flame but fearful of my corals lol.

Any other suggestions are welcome.
 
Any dwarf angel is going to be a risk -- it is up to you if you want to take it.
With that said I have a Venustus dwarf in my 40 breeder and it leaves my SPS alone (( though it will destroy any fleshy LPS )). In addition I have a pair of clowns (( Perc, and O )), a goby/shrimp pair -- which are awesome, and a pair of bangaii cardinals (( though I have a feeling I am going to have to remove one, the larger isn't playing nice anymore )).
 
Let me also say Im not interested in cardinals, firefish, or chromis. I know Im not leaving myself much choices. Maybe Illl just have 2 fish lol

If I had a bigger tank and added them at the same time I dont think it would be an issue but I like to keep fish alive that i buy lol

Me too! Even with a big tank it doesnt always work out the way you think its going to. When I first started stocking my tank I put in a maroon clown... she is so mean that I cant dare add any other clowns. Youre doing it the right way... researching before adding.

What about a blenny (starry, bi-color, or midas are among my favorites) and/or a goby (non-sandsifting type)?

Yeah Im trying to be careful and get a nice list of fish in there.
 
So do you! Sorry, reading comprehension is low this morning.

I had a chalk basslet for awhile, he was a very attractive fish. Maybe consider one of those?
 
Lyretail anthias? i know its pushing it but i have one and shes doing fine. Might go get her 2 more partners because they like to be in groups
 
I wanted to get a trio of sunburst but the wife liked the price of a trio of lyretails better lol.
 
I had a pair of sunburst for years.
My favorite fish. Died in my recent move. Great fish for that size tank.
