A coral beauty angel is a bit large for that tank, perhaps a Pygmy angel or flameback?

I just looked up the flameback I really liked it cool looking angel would it be ok with coral tho it said with caution?
It's no more or less safe than a coral beauty, if anything I would say the flameback is slightly safer although no dwarf or Pygmy angel is truly safe

^No dwarf angel is truly reef safe.

Unless they are a bonded pr, skip getting 2 firefish. If they aren't a pr one will kill the other. They are also prolific jumpers, so an open top may not be best for them.

Good catch I've always kept mine in groups of 4-6

Keeping multiple gobies shouldn't present any problems.

Completely compatible.
