Tomorrow I'm going to buy either a 75 gallon (reef ready) or a 120 (rr) aquarium. Both are used found on craigslist.
So, I would like to start a softy tank. I have always loved watching soft corals flow back and forth in the ocean.
I have gone over the search engine and I purchased Anthony Calfo's book of Coral Propogation. I have learned alot.
As far as the corals go I have a pretty good idea of what i would like. I was thinking of mostly a sarcophyton corals and pulsing xenia display.
Do you think that I could also add a colt coral or two and cabbage coral with out aggression between the corals if they are placed with enough space between the different species?
My main questions are about fish additions.
I want to add a yellow eyed tang, fathead anthia (3), watchmen goby and pistol shrimp pair, blue/green chromis (5), cinnamon clownfish, flasher or coris wrass (3) and scarlet cleaner shrimp (2).
Will my corals be ok with this stocking list?
Please be honest and help me create the best environment for my reef inhabitants.
Thanks

I ended up getting the 75 gallon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

The anthias may be a problem---I'm not that familiar with them, but I'm told they need space. I'd say one (male) watchman goby. Your other guys should be fine, but 3 chromis might fit the 75 better. Your corals should be fine. I wouldn't try to pair the gobies: the yellow watchman is cantankerous, a bit of a curmudgeon, though they are my favorite fish. You don't want him to fight, and they fight their own kind. I'm iffy about the tang: a bristletooth tang species might be ok for size---they like to open up and run. I'd also recommend the starry blenny: I think you might like him. There are many, many species that get along fine with that list. None are coral-eaters. (but very few fish bother softies. Which is also good. SPS get the most predators.)
