Hi everyone! I'm new to saltwater and excited to begin this new adventure. I have a new 40g display + 12g sump Red Sea G2 200 with dry rock, live sand, macro algea, a few soft coral and a hammer. For fish, I have 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 tailspot blenny, 1 possum wrasse, 1 yasha goby (so pretty!!)+ pistol shrimp along with a healthy cleanup crew of hermits, snails, and conchs. I adore all of the fishy personalities and am looking to build a peaceful community tank with other tankmates that will be more out and about and not hide.

I was thinking of a fairy or flasher wrasse, a purple firefish, and a mandarin once my copepods are up to the task of being a food source. Anything kinda oddball that could also work? Clown or citron goby caught my eye at the store as did a royal gramma and coral beauty. It's not a huge tank and I'm not looking to rehome when something gets too big.

Thanks for the advice!
 
I would add these fish, and after adding them, you’ll be fully stocked.

Coral beauty
Fire fish
Royal gramma
Clown goby
Mandarin (fuge required)
