Hello,
I have a 40 breeder mainly sps tank. I wanted to add some more fish mainly so that I can feed more and keep nutrients registered in test kit.
Looking for recommendation of additional fish I can add. I do not have a sandbed so wrasses would be out of the question.

Here's the current fish in the system:
Mating pair of clownfish
Yellow tang (medium size). Full stomach, not pinched. Should probably not be in tank but not willing to remove him.
One blue chromis.
One neon blue damsel. I think it's Chrysiptera (blue devil)

thanks,
Albert
 
With the tang in there you should have no issues with feeding the tank more, not sure you need another fish?
 
Lol, between 2 different damsels, a growing yellow tang, and among the others, you are done.

The damsels will mature to want half the tank each.
That amazingly beautiful blue creature is called a Blue Devil for a reason.

The pair of clowns may be aggressive enough on their own and the 2 damsels and 2 clowns will be plenty.

The yellow tang at 'medium' size is probably already due for an upgraded tank.

I start inappropriate fish in small tanks too. [emoji6]
The key is try something like a 7/8" blue hippo tang in a 75 gallon tank. (6 months running)

Get the tang out.

Depending on what damsel you have (Latin name), it might have to go too.
 
Thanks for your suggestions. I guess I'll just leave things alone.
As for the tang, it's not much that I want to keep it but I think it would be next to impossible to get him out. It would take a fairly big trap and there is no room for one.
