Is it a bad idea to include a Midas blenny and sand-sifting goby in the same tank? Not to shift the topic, but I am considering a Midas blenny and an orange spotted goby (hopefully paired with a pistol shrimp) for my 90-gallon reef. Are there concerns with this of which I am not yet aware?
I currently have a Midas Blenny and a diamond watchman and they don’t even look twice at each other.

Tank stocking is planned to be a pair of clown, a chalk bass & a YW goby! Can anyone think of a fish I could add to that list to have as a real centrepiece fish? Can be anything reef safe from a Damsel to a lionfish! I am up for any suggestions! BTW I also have a 200G reef so if it did outgrow this display it could move to there! Needs to be invert safe! Any suggestions greatly appreciated (think outside the box I want a showstopper)! Thanks - Noah
I recently purchased a Mysteri Wrasse and it’s a beautiful fish. I’ve had him about 9 days now and his personality is coming out a little more. (Pic from web)
If you’re considering a dwarf angel at all... I also have a dwarf potters angel that is my FOCAL fish and he’s stunning. So far ZERO issues with any coral nipping (knock on wood!) it I also have pods in my tank and a seaweed clip to help. I see some recommendations for a Midas and IMO my Midas is great, just not what I’d imagine as a “show piece”. He is king of the tank in a gentle way and even at that he’s just not as flashy. But great personality when he’s out and about.
ok—- that’s my 2 cents :)

That is great to hear! They are both still on my list of considerations.
+1 on the mystery wrasse and +1 on the Potter's angel!
Both of these fish are ones I considered, though I may want different colors for my wrasse and I probably will not have room for an angelfish after my other higher preferences are added.
