Hi,
I’m looking to add one or two fish. I have a 175 gallon mixed reef tank. Current fish: 2 clowns, powder blue tang, fox face, tomini tang, purple tang, 2 blue green chromis, benghai cardinal, and lamarck’s angelfish. There might be a Xmas red lined wrasse but I’ve not seen him in a long time so am assuming he’s gone.
Would appreciate suggestions on an interesting or colorful fish to add.
Thank you!
 
Not sure if you got a lid, but I've always wanted some type of jawfish (blue spot) or maybe a tilefish (oreni or flashing). Can't go wrong with watchman goby either if you got sandbed.
 
Would definitely recommend a species of fairy or flasher wrasse. A couple of my favorites are the solar fairy wrasse, the yellow fin flasher wrasse, and the Yellow-Flanked Fairy Wrasse.
You could also do a cool basslet like a Swissguard basslet, or a Blackcap basslet.
