I take care of a 360 gallon SPS reef tank. It is roughly 88''x32''x30''.

What fish would you add? Be creative.

They must be $500 or less.

As of now there are:
10 Green Chromis
2 Borbonius Anthias
1 Labouti Wrasse
1 McCoskers Wrasse
1 Blonde Naso Tang
1 Purple Tang
1 Chocolate tang
1 Fourline Wrasse
1 Bar Goby
1 Midas Blenny

All these have been in the tank together for about 5 months.
There is plenty of swimming room. There is no top, although there is a very tight canopy all around.

The tank is filled mostly with SPS but there are also LPS, Clams, and Zoanthids. The new additions cannot have any super special requirements because I am only there 3 hrs per week. They are feed during the week by inexperienced reef-keepers.

I was thinking about adding a harem of Bartletts Anthias though I do not know how the Borbonius will react to them. They are "tough guys" :) I also want to add more tangs but I am not sure how the other tangs will react. Especially the Purple, he's full grown.

Any help is much appreciated!
 
I wanted to put a Powder in there but I have the chocolate. I understood that Powder blues will not tolerate another Acanthurus?
 
I have some Platinum clowns that have been sitting around for a while...hmmm..well swimming around hehe.
 
Theres a risk when adding any fish, but a lot of people have multiple acanthurus without any notable issues. 360g is a good size tank too.

I have a 5.5" PBT and a 4.5" achilles without any issues. Not yet at least. They hardly even look at each other.

I say go shopping for a PBT on DD....
 
My all time favorite is the naso blond tang. Wish my tank was just a little bigger. If I had your tank I would do it in an instant. They always seem so mellow and are just stunning to watch.
 
Just saw you have one. In that case. harem of Maldives Lyretail anthias. They don't seem to need to eat as much as most other anthias and the males AND females have stand out colors. I also love the metallic blue highlight around their eyes and this thin red line on their chins you don't normally see in pictures.

This is good to hear. I will have to get a powder blue then. Were your tangs added at the same time?

nanoreefer1000 I did try a large male scotts fairy, it went straight into the rocks never to be seen again. As for the angels, has anyone kept Bellus Angelfish (Genicanthus bellus)? Maybe a male female pair?

Dragon moray ki Maybe I could add the powder blue with a hippo to help divert the aggression?

jason2459 There is a blonde naso in there, it is an awesome fish! He loves the mp60 (so do I!)
 
banner fish
pyramid butterflies
female bellus/watanabe angels
Rabbit/foxface (any of them, caution with zoa though)
harlequin tusk
 
Here's a head on shot of one of my lyretail anthias to see the red chin line and blue eyes. Picture's don't show the shine of the blue eyes but at least under my LED's they are this nice metallic like blue.

I have a regal angel that doesnt bother any of my sps, zooanthids and clam plus they are great looking angels...
 
I'd get some genicanthus angels... bellus and/or watanabei are quite nice, as are melanospilos.
