Hi all! I currently have a 125g DT 72” x 18” x 23” high.
Current inhabitants (fish/inverts only. Red head Solon fairy wrasse adult ~3”; small juvenile yellow coris wrasse; fire goby; pajama cardinals x 2 small and medium; lawnmower Benny, 1 large purple pincushion urchin and 1 small pincushion urchin and one tiny tuxedo urchin, 5 blue let hermits, 5 red leg hermits, 4 Mexican turbo snails- 6 asters and 2 chinches. Corals are a nice mix of sos, lps; zoas, plays, and shrooms.

Im wanting to add several more fish because I have so few it’s hard to see if I have any sometimes!
I’m looking for colorful, personable non aggressive fish. I wouldn’t mind having a nice school of fish but have read it’s pretty impossible.
pant ideas.?

A few of my fav's
Exquisite wrasse - Cirrhilabrus exquisitus
Yellow tang - Zebrasoma flavescens
Kole Yellow Eye Tang - Ctenochaetus strigosus
 
A yellow tang will brighten up your tank without a doubt. Their reef safe and a quite docile species of tang. Clowns are always a great option. If your up to it you could try Dwarf Angels such as Bicolor, Coral beauty or Dwarf flame angel. I Would take caution with them cause they may nip at you corals. Anthias would be great in your tank. You could get several could probably get them to shoal but maybe not school.
 
IMO i think your tank can adequately support a mandarin dragonet (only likely competition for copepods is the juv. yellow coris wrasse). you can seed the tank occasionally with mail-order copepods.

a white lined possum wrasse or a tanaka possum wrasse will also benefit from the copepod seeding.

i second Nigel35’s recommendation for a yellow tang or a dwarf angel. a trio of the fancier chromis or more peaceful damsels too (azure, talbot, rolland) to round out the options.
