(posted in wrong forum I think, so reposting here, wish I could move it!)

Been reading a lot, seems a lot of the fish I came across and wanted would outgrow my tank (redsea 425 xl)... So I came up with this list, curious about people's thoughts.

Pair of Black Storm clowns
Masked Swallowtail Angel
Kole Yellow Eye Tang
One Spot Foxface
Six line wrasse
Bistletooth Tomini Tang
Lawnmower blenny

Tank has 150 pounds of live rock in it, 3 small corals, and a medium size clean up crew (50 assorted snails, crabs, etc).

has a reefmat 500 and a dc skimmer 600, and an AquaUV 25 watt light.

Masked swallowtail angels are basically non-existence in stock….

Try others in the genicanthus genus.

I am reading several horror stories over the 6 line wrasse.... Wondering if I should go a different route, or if the are normally okay as long as you do not add another wrasse of any kind.

I like the 6 line looks better, but it seems the safer play is a pink streaked wrasse.

Or Melanurus, which also doesn't seem to get the bully status.

Really just wanting a cool fish thats helpful in removing pests.
