Largest fish for 60g

[Krzydmnd]

Hi all! I'm upgrading my 32g to a 60g (I know, still on the small side for reef tanks but it's biggest I can fit) and am looking for suggestions on the last fish to add that will be on the larger physical size for this sized tank. It's 60 lagoon, so long VS cube as it relates to swim room.

Reef tank with mostly sps and Lps so looking for reef friendly.

Current inhabitants are clown pair, pygmy angel, pygmy filefish, Yasha goby and a firefish. All are currently getting along swimmingly (sorry for the dad joke)...

Thanks!

What are the exact dimensions? That may affect it to a degree. Engineer gobies get pretty big and are site oriented, but don't make a great centerpiece due to being in their burrow most of the time.

Can't wait to see the upgrade, I know your 32 looked great!

Borbonus anthias get pretty big, but aren't super active, so would do well.

That, sir, is exactly the fish I wanted! Ive read that I should set up an auto feeder for some anthias as they like to nibble all day. Same for these guys?

And then I gotta track one down lol.

Not necessary for this species. Their metabolic needs aren't as high as other anthias, though it won't cause issues either.
