Good morning all! I have a 150 gallon mixed reef tank and currently have the following stocked;

-Blue Hippo
-Desjardini Sailfin Tang
-Bluejaw Trigger
-(2) Extreme Flurry Clowns
-Melanarus Wrasse
-Super exquisite male fairy wrasse
-Male sailfin fairy wrasse
-Fairy wrasse
-Royal Gramma
-Flame Angel
-Orange spotted rabbitfish
-Foxface rabbitfish

The Blue Hippo and the Sailfin are the biggest fish in the tank followed closely by the orange spotted rabbitfish. The clowns are the tank bullies regularly biting chunks out of their tank mates tails :(

I'm looking for one or two more fish that could really steal the show. Let me know your thoughts and let's have some fun!!!

I for one am a fish guy that stays very conservative when it comes to the size of the fish I keep and what they will eventually will grow to. I hate trying to catch fish, especially out of my full blown reef.

With that said, respectfully to you, as you may already know, your hepatus and desjardini will get pretty big and may need more space.

As far as adding other fish, I'll back out and let others chime in.

Good luck and happy reefing!

Personally I would get rid of the clowns as they will likely harass/bite any new additions which will stress them out. Fin biting isn't something to just ignore.

Every new fish has had it's fins nipped at by the clowns. After that initial nipping it seems like they all get along fine. I'll keep a closer eye on it for sure though. Thanks!
