• Basslet like a royal gramma
• Wrasse like:
  • Yellow coris
  • melanarus
  • Timor
  • Any flasher wrasse
  • any fairy wrasse
• Cardinal like a Banggai
• Lamarck's angelfish

Honestly could go on forever but theres a start

Did you just say you have a pbt, hippo and sailfin in a 90 gallon?

Tang police will definitely come after you my friend.

I back the Lamarck's and the melanurus, great wrasse choice. I like the Lamarck's due to it being a peaceful dwarf angel, as a lot of dwarfs are jerks and may nip at coral. Also into the fairy/flasher wrasses but your gonna need a lid.

what about the Swallowtail angelfish? I’m thinking of getting one for a reef tank. Similar?

Iirc they are peaceful & reef safe like the Lamarck's.

All angels of that genus are fairly peaceful and completely reef safe

Considering you have 3 tangs, I’d say you’re maxed out. I know this sounds insane however none of them will allow for a new inhabitant to be added and they will all outgrow your tank and likely stress unfortunately.

It really depends on the size they are currently. Any of those guys at 4” will already have outgrown a 4’ tank. And for the Desjardini alone you’ll want atleast an 8’ tank (Even then, some people do say that’s too small).
