Very low bioload. Looking to add a fish or two and looking for ideas. Must be peaceful, but able to compete for food with current critters. 6' 125gal mixed reef. Not interested in getting more tangs. Everything gets along at the moment and looking to keep the peace.
Current critters:
Sailfin tang
Blue tang
5 chromis
Yellow Coris
Regular clown
Diamond watchman
2 skunk cleaner shrimp
Random cuc

Thanks for the suggestions

My mandarin is a sweetheart but you’re looking for something that can compete for food. My mandarin will chase frozen mysis and brine but I gotta shut the flow off for him.

Love my midas blenny. He’s a hungry hippo. Swims like an eel too! Lawnmower and starry blennare also fun.

Group of fire fish.

School of anthias.

Group of chalk bass.

There are tons of wrasse out there that would work, just double check compatibility with coris. I would think most flashers and fairy species would be fine. I personally love leopards-they are peaceful but can be tricky.
