Fish stock list ideas reefer 250

[aarongrey90]

Putting together a stock list for the new tank. Reefer 250

Thinking somewhere between 8 and 12 fish would be acceptable depending on size and type of fish added?

First additions will be the obligatory pair of clowns but other than that struggling to put together a list.

Tank will eventually be mixed corals so reef safe is a must.

Looking really for "different or weird looking" as the wife puts it ... basically fish that make you look and say "ooooo thats not just a 'normal' fish tank"

Bright colours, interesting behaviours etc.

Would love a yellow tang eventually but believe it would eventually outgrow the tank, and the disease risk associated not sure it would be worth it ... are there any alternatives that have that same bright yellow colour?

Tank also has a sand bed so a sand sifter goby would be useful. Possibly a bleny too.

Any suggestions

Yellow watchmen goby with a pistol shrimp. They have a symbiotic relationship, which is cool to watch. Gives you yellow of the tang and a unique relationship and the oceans loudest animal!
