Looking into adding more fish soon and have been having a hard time narrowing down a decent list. My tank is a 65gal wide. Currently have 2 DaVinci Clown, diamond goby, cleaner shrimp, and a few snails. I have a few fish in mind that I am going to get but need a few more options. On the list of next to get are
2 firefish
1 algae blenny
1 neon goby
Thought about possibly a one spot foxface considering I would like to have a fish keep the rocks clean. But it's only been a thought cause I would rather stay with 100% reef safe and have heard of them nipping at corals from time to time. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Melanurus wrasse is a great fish as it will also eat pests in the tank you might bring in by accident, is good with other fish, and wont bug coral. Amazing colors.

How's your pod population? Green dragonettes are a must for me. Leopard wrasse too!
I would love a green dragonette but currently do not have a sump to be able to have a steady supply of pods populating the fuge. I've been adding pods directly to tank once a month to grow the population in the tank though while there's not many fish to prey on them. Hopefully will have a sump added in another month or two though and will eventually be able to get one.

Honestly I would prefer a tomini but kinda thought he would outgrow my tank faster than the fox. Might have to look into getting a small one then, planning on getting a 150-200gal tank within the next 2 years anyways so if they grow slow I will have the room for him later on.
