I currently have a 45 gallon saltwater tank I took over and is a rescue tank.. all my levels are steady and have live sand and dry rocks that have been in the tank over 3-4 months now.. The rescue tank came with 2 clown fish and I have recently added a royal gramma basslet.. what fish should I look into? (Would love as many fish as possible)I am in the process of adding soft corals as well..

personal thoughts:

a hawk fish

A yellow banded possum wrasse

If you want more fish I would add more rock. Very few fish swim far away from safety.

I probably wouldn't do a hawkfish unless you have multiple other fish first, and a healthy rockscape, they are pretty aggressive. Couple of Blue Damselfish or a Pajama cardinal might be a good way to go!

Definitely needing to just need to find the correct aqua scape to fully maximize my tank
