I recently decided to pull a couple tanks out of storage and get back into the hobby. I have a 15g long and a 40g breeder I intend to set up as reef tanks. I am looking for stocking suggestions for both tanks. Coral wise I intent to keep mostly Zoas, mushrooms, and Euphyllia with a few other LPS and softies mixed in. My current stocking ideas are

15g (24”x12”x12”)
-2 Ocellaris Clownfish
-Firefish

40g Breeder (36”x18”x16”)
-2 Ocellaris Clownfish
-Orchid Dottyback
-Pearly Jawfish
-Coral Beauty Angel (I’m aware it might nip at coral)

Is there anything you would change about either of these plans or any suggestions on fish to add?
 
Both lists look good. You can even add a couple more small fish to the 40g list if you want.

If it was me, I’d swap the Coral Beauty for a Multicolour but that’s just down to preference - they’re both as reef safe as one another, multicolour may be slightly more reef safe but that’s my own experience.
The other thing is, do you need clowns in both tanks? If not, why not swap one for some other fish?
