I’m moving my damsel to my 16 gallon. I want to add the following to my 32 and need some help deciding

2 clowns (for sure)
Royal gramm/orchid dottyback
Yellow corris wrasse

wpuld the dottyback or the gramma be better? My rock scape is very flat at the moment because of my engineer goby who I recently lost. There’s one big cave (huge) and a few smaller ones. I have a toadstool mushroom I assume the clowns will host back in the corner.

I have a 32G Biocube and have experienced the nightmare of having a rogue Gramma.
Absolutely terrorized the other fish - killing my firefish.
Had to take all of the rockwork out of the tank to get him out.
I also have a dottyback who just killed a six line wrasse I put into the tank.
I have a pair of naked clowns with my Tomini tang and the dottyback that I will have to go fishing for.

I have a lot of rock in my tank and lots of places for everyone to hide.
The dottback is very territorial - the clowns just cruise around as does the tang.

The Orchid Dotty is usually quite chill in comparison to other dottybacks.

The firefish are the easiest to bully.

What kind of dottyback? And are you sure it was a gramma and not a pseudo chromis? They look the same almost
