Hello, I'm looking to start my stocking list for my new 60 gallon breeder. I cycled the tank using live ocean rock but I haven't set up lighting or a sump. I won't get any fish until I'm finished with the equipment.

I plan on having coral and so there are a lot of critters from the live rock that aren't reef safe. For example there are fire worms, flatworms, l think there are also nudibranchs, and there are probably other critters that haven’t come out. Is there a fish or invert that could take out a number of these harmful crittetrs?

As for regular stocking, what fish could I have in this tank? The fish that catches my eye the most is the one spot fox face. It says on LiveAquaria that the minimum tank size is 70 gallons. Would it be fine in my 60 gallon breeder?
 
Yes, I think a fox face should be fine. Breeder spec tanks have the benefit of high surface area/less height lending to more swimming room for the tank size.
