Help me choose the final fish for my tank. I don’t want to mess up!

[ReefKeeper666]

Hi All,
So many moons ago when I started the hobby I added 11 fish to a 55 gallon tank including a yellow tang(sorry tang police). They wound up with velvet and all fish died in 3 days. I was foolish, didn’t know about quarantine or even reef2reef. Not being one to give up up I’ve made great strides in the past year and change and have decided with help from fellow reefers on here that 8 fish is a good number for my 55 gallon tank. So I had managed to put my 8th and final fish and he didn’t make it. I had a fire tail blenny in my tank already and he beat the Midas blenny I added to death.
please take a look at the fish I have in my tank in the order I added them In the tank and let me know what some good options for my last fish would be.
Many tanks(lol see what I did there)...

1. Pajama Cardinal
2. Red carpenter wrasse
3. Green Mandarin
4. Fire tail blenny (aka bicolor blenny )
5. Royal gramma
6. Stormtrooper clown
7. Stormtrooper clown (they were added together)
8. What should I add?

I would do a red firefish! I had one and they’re really fun to watch! The first few weeks they’re skittish but they build a large personality!

Long nose Hawk

out of curiosity is a lawnmower blenny or another gramma possible?

Flame hawk. Lotta personality.

Lawnmower blenny would be fun and active to have in the tank, definitely can be a good time to watch. I'd avoid another gramma as they can be territorial.

I've been wanting to add a pair of flaming prawn gobies (discordipinna griessingeri) to my tank for a while as they're super unique. They can be a bit cryptic and hide out in rockwork a ton from what I've researched, but definitely a unique and beautiful fish you don't see around too often.

Could also do a hawkfish of some sort (flame, long nose, short nose), firefish (red, purple, helfrichi), or any of the sand-dwelling goby's (yasha, yellow-watchmen, etc). Personally I love my pistol shrimp and blue-spotted watchmen combo.

Tons of different options!

Seeing as my bi color blenny kicked the Midas blennys butt, is that a possibility’s between the bi color and a newly added lawnmower blenny?

I don't think you can put two royal grammas in one tank.
