Hi all. I just recently upgraded from a 30L to the IM 50g aio (display area is roughly 30L x 19W x 14H). From the old tank I moved over a fire fish, royal Gramma, pink streaked wrasse and 2 green stripe gobies. I'd like to add a wrasse...leopard or radiant maybe? Or should I be looking at flasher wrasses like mccoskers etc? What else would you suggest? Blenny, jawdish, goby etc? I have a 2-3 inch sand bed. Tank will be primarily lps/softies.
Looking for suggestions...thanks in advance

Tailspot blenny
Midas blenny
Flasher wrasse
Captive breeding anglefish (coral beauty, churb or flame

Depending on your plans
Small tomini tang (if an upgrade is in the plan within the next year or so)

I think you’re smart in not going for the flame angle. Other dwarf angles are suited much better imo.

I would love a flame angel, but I'm concerned they will munch on my zoas, acans, etc. Seems like a lot of people have success with them, but I'm not sure I want to roll the dice with my luck...
I have two and no issues. Keep it obviously fed

I have an Orange Back Fairy Wrasse in my IM Lagoon 50. It’s a beautiful fish and has been a model citizen.
