Need some fish recommendations

kdx7214 · Sep 18, 2022

Right now I have a six line wrasse and a lawnmower blenny. I'm looking to add some color and movement to the tank. I have quite a lot of macro algae, so nothing that would munch on that. I also have two Stylocoeniella sps and a zoanthid. I really want to avoid clowns and damsels--they just get too aggressive to deal with. I've read that anthias and many of the other schooling fish fight to the death in tanks since there isn't enough room for them to run away.

So what can I add to get some color and motion? I'd love to get a coral beauty angel, but not sure how well it would do.

Edit: Sorry, tank is a 75 gallon

What size tank?

Tank size, please.

I'm impressed that your lawnmower blenny doesn't touch your macro! They tend to have voracious appetites.

Centropyge angels do like their nori, and all of mine have eaten their share of halymenia.

Not all damsels are highly aggressive -- especially the captive-bred ones -- so you shouldn't write them all off.

Depends all on tank size, as well as rock scape (FTS under white lights will work best).
