Would anyone care to comment on my stocking plan? Let me know if there is a specific order I should place them in or if you notice any issues. This will be a mixed reef with snails, hermits, and cleaner shrimp in the cuc.

Thanks!

Currently have:
2 ocellaris clownfish
1 midas blenny
1 orchid dottyback

Future plans:
Zebrasoma (either yellow or purple tang)
Tomini tang
Convict tang
Coral beauty
Melanurus wrasse or naoko fairy wrasse
Copperband butterfly (yes, aware of their finicky eating habits)
Mandarin dragonet (futher down, once pod population has established)

Any room for more, or is that already a decent list?
 

i cant think

First issue I find is in the Convict Tang. These get aggressive as well as highly active. Other than that the others should be alright.
Yes considering this you have plenty of room for more fish. You could add both wrasses as they’re two separate genera and both sleep differently however you’ll want to see if you want more wrasses than that before I can say what order you want to add them in.

Well that’s great to hear. The convict was one that I was honestly least married to.

Updated list, anyone have more input? Too heavily stocked? Compatibility issues? Intro order?

Tomini tang
Biota Yellow tang
Convict tang (may take the risk)
Copperband butterfly (aware of finicky eater)
Flame angel (probably taking the risk with lps)
Biota Coral beauty (same as flame)
Biota Mandarin
Melanurus wrasse or naoko fairy wrasse
Two spot goby
ORA Marine betta (these seem hit or miss as far as eating very small fish/shrimp)
7 chromis
2 clownfish
Midas blenny
Orchid dottyback
