Yet another adding fish thread

[Shaummy]

Hey all,

I've been wracking my brain about what to possibly add to my 90 gal mixed reef tank.

Current fish:
Chevron Tang
Orange Backed Fairy Wrasse
3 - Lyretail anthias
Flame Hawk
Blue Assessor

Corals:
2 - Open Brains
Frogspawn
Birdsnest
Misc Zoa's
Plating monti
encrusting monti


I've never had good luck with clowns, even Ocellaris' that are supposed to be pretty passive end up claiming half the tank as their territory so I had to take them back.

It doesn't seem like I'm overstocked at this point, but I just can't put my finger on any potential tank mates that won't nip/chomp the corals.

I also returned my flameback pygmy angel when I got the brain corals from a friend of mine (it was nipping at them). Since the brains..my coral addiction has taken off..so now I'm stuck.

The tang and fairy wrasse seem to add good movement to the tank, however the assessor is really shy, and anthias often swim in place a lot of the time. The hawk is cool swimming from perch to perch...but not really "active".

So what ya got RC'ers! Any suggestions for an active fish to add? Or just be happy with what I have?

I would add a yellow coris wrasse and a blenny, midas or bicolor perhaps? How about a Genicanthus angel?


I also love jawfish even though they are not open swimmers. Mine is always hovering at his cave opening the whole time the lights are on.

My suggestions would be a Hamlet or a royal gramma. I have both and they are colorful, active fish.

ETA: Blennies are a great suggestion too! My vote is for a starry blenny as mine was awesome! I had him many years before I think he passed of old age.

Midas blenny, flasher wrasse, I would normally suggest a pair of firefish but they will be like the anthias swimming in one place. I would go with multiple wrasses as you can get different colors and most are active.

Looked into some of these suggestions. While I think the hamlet would be a cool addition, I'd fear that my small fish would be at risk.

Royal Gramma or yellow coris could be options, but I was hoping for something that's not in the yellow or orange category.

Do Blennies swim about the tank? I don't know anyone who has one.

Are Genicanthus angels really reef safe? Like a Lamarck's or Bellus?
