I recently had to move my tank due to remodeling and moved everything from a cheap 40 gallon to my old 55 gallon acrylic tank. While I love the size, maintenance has been an issue. The acrylic is a pain to clean and with my arthritis larger water changes are hard. I am looking at the JBJ 45 aio as my best option for an aio in the 40 gallon range. If I get this tank I know I will have to give up some fish. Looking for some advice for what to rehome.
My current stock:
-Starry Blenny
-Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish
-Royal Gramma
-Yellow Coris Wrasse
-Springers Damsel
-Neon Goby
-Flameback Angelfish
-Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
-Fire Cleaner Shrimp
This is a reef tank with some easy corals. The fish I must keep are the Starry Blenny, Clownfish, Royal Gramma, and Neon Goby. I would like to keep the Springers Damsel and the Yellow Coris Wrasse. I figure the angelfish will not be happy in the new tank due to lack of swimming space. Any advice on stocking for this new tank would be greatly appreciated.
 
I’m not sure where you’re located, but if you’re less than two hours away I’d highly recommend giving everything else to me.
 
I have had the JBJ 45. I would get rid of the Angel and the Wrasse. You really don't absolutely need to get rid of anything, but those would be my choices.

Thanks, rehoming the wrasse and angel was my thought. I love that bright yellow on the wrasse. Do you think with the stock I am keeping I could add a yellow clown goby?
 
Off tpoic: Do you have pictures of your starry blenny? They are my favorite!
