Hi all! I have had my tank going now for the longest 10 months ever and am tying to decide on my next addition. The past two or so months I got into soft coral keeping and an RBTA but only have a pair of mocha clowns and a diamond goby as of now. I am looking for stocking suggestions for fish and corals. I love angels and tangs! But am looking to have a nice community of small to medium fish with a few larger show pieces. For corals I have a hammer, pipe organs, a couple of mushrooms, Kenya trees and GSP, and a RBTA. Since I am new to this I want to keep it as easy as possible! Thinking of sticking with softies, leathers, brains, maybe the easier side of LPS.... DT is a 215G with 30g sump, about 250 lbs of live rock and sand bed about 2 in. deep. Any suggestions would be great!!!
What fish to buy?

I have read that they can be rather aggressive.... Do you have any experience with that? I know I run that risk with adding anything but my clowns are so great and peaceful! My tank is in my office so anytime I'm in there at my desk they hover around the glass, follow me around the room and eat directly from my or my children's hands!

Some anthias are a little aggressive, many are quite peaceful. The large bodied anthias such as pink square, bimaculatus and fasciatus are on the more aggressive side. Others have noted aggression with bartletts and squamipinnis as well. Most of the other anthias are quite peaceful. If this is your first attempt at anthias I would recomend dispar, ignitus or randalls. Some of the other species can be a degree more challenging.
Other fish to consider in a tank your size are wrasses from the reef safe genera of Cirrhilabrus, paracheilinus, halichoeres, macropharyngodon, psdudojuloides, anampses, pseudocheilinops, wetmorrella and xenojulis.
I am also partial to tilefish, dartfish, jawfish and bassletts in the genus liopropoma.

The fungus is among us.
Great ideas from lord breakfast.
What fish do you like and why? That's a good place to start.
