So title states it, have a 40g display with 50-55total volume. Im very indecisive about what I’d like to throw in the tank, I want something somewhat unique , but I know options are limited with a 40g and with corals. Currently stocked with two clowns, a tailspot blenny, fire shrimp, various crabs and snails. There was a watchman goby that I have not had eyes on for about a month that has me worried, gonna wait a while before I write him off. Although I swapped him to a brand new tank so I fear he succumbed to a clean tank or maybe fell victim to a few gorilla crabs I’m working on catching. Anyways I know I’m limited on maybe 1 or two more small livestock items. But I’d also love some suggestions on some unique inverts or corals. Thanks in advanced. Tank is about 4 months old and coming along great especially with the tbs rock. My previous tank was an utter failure that was down in 1 year.

I can't tell you what corals will be worth having – that's personal.

But IMO, do it different from your last tank. If you focused on corals there, focus on fish this time. If you focues on fish before, focus on corals.

Above all, take your time with every addition. Do NOT rush to fill your tank with either fish or coral.
