Tank is a 250 gallon mixed reef.
Looking into fish to stock the tank with, but I’ve hit a wall with what I want to add because the big colorful fish are mostly non reef safe.
First, I will start off with what’s in my tank right now:
LPS
SPS
Soft corals
Snails
Urchin
Starfish
Tridacna Clams (my favorite)
Anemones
No fish yet (currently fallow and will QT everything wet)
I know for certain that I want some tangs in the tank, but I feel most tangs are muted in color and don’t add the “pop” that I’m looking for.
I’ve had a few non reef safe fish in the past, and one fish that always caught non reefer’s attention was a dog face puffer.
I’m looking at harlequin tusks but I don’t think I’d feel comfortable with losing my clams.
I’m looking for medium to large fish that will catch attention from friends, family, and reefers.
What do you recommend?
