Help! Suitable Tank mate for 2 Clowns?

[ChadC]

Hey question iam new to this hobby, can anyone give me options for a suitable Tank mate for a 10 gallon nano reef with 2 Clowns, No Goby or Fire Fish (not a covered tank)? [emoji1]

To be honest I feel two clowns is one too many in a ten gallon

I have two clowns in my ten and it's not bad.

Bangai Cardinal would work with them!

I agree. You are maxed out in a 10 gallon.

understood with the 10 Gallon and fish capacity, but just wondering what would be a good tank mate.. all over I've searched only says Gobys or fire fish

Usually anything can go with a clownfish, but clownfish are best to be the last to add to a tank because they are territorial. I would highly advise not adding anything to the 10 gallon with an established pair of clownfish.

If they start breeding, then that doesn't leave a lot of room for tankmates. Maybe a watchman goby/pistol shrimp, if paired the watchman will be less likely to jump.
Perhaps a fish that stays in the rockwork, such as an orchid or elongate dottyback.
