So I am towards the end of stocking my 93 gallon cube tank and I am wondering what are some cool fish I could add. My tank is a mixed reef so I would prefer reef safe fish but I would consider getting a reef safe with caution. My current stocking list is

2 clowns
small kole tang
Melanuras wrasse
Red head Solon wrasse
Carpenters flasher wrasse
Orange spotted prawn goby
One spot foxface

I am not having any trouble controlling phosphates and nitrates so I am confident my tank can maintain a couple more fish. I am trying to get my LFS to get a leopard wrasse to eat frozen, but for the final fish, I want something a little different. I really want a angel or butterfly but I don't want coral eaten. Any ideas welcome! Thanks

I keep a marine betta with firefish, they really are an extremely docile fish.

I would add some anthias, a few suggestions would be: 1 borbonius, 3 red saddled anthias, and/or 3 bartletts anthias.
Good luck!

I'll consider the betta, and as in CBB your talking about the copper band butterfly? I thought they needed bigger tanks than a 93. I really want an angel but I am afraid of it eating my corals. And with the anthias how often do you need to feed them?

I feed my anthias once a day because I have a refugium but if you don't then you should feed them 2-3 times per day

No a 93 is plenty of room for a CBB. Mine has been doing well in my 60 cube. Just buy a very young one that is eating frozen at the LFS. Thats what I did. Completely reef safe too. Well unless you like feather dusters and aiptasia lol.
