Currently have in 280 gallon:
Bicolor angel
Flame angel
Hippo tang
Copperband butterfly
Royal Gramma
4 wheel goby
Lemon chromis
electric blue damsel
maroon clown pair

Looking to add a few more larger colorful peaceful fish (not foxface) and some smaller fish in multiples (especially ones that the flame angel might chase to help even out the chasing of the bicolor though the angels get along well enough and the flame chases the damsel too) . Don't want to add any more tangs or dwarf angels. All in a reef tank btw. Thinking about some type of wrasse and several domino damsels. I like anthias as group fish but wanting to spend less. Ideas?
 
Certainly many different wrasses that you can add… but I’d never add even one domino damsel to any of my tanks!
 
Simple common Anthais group of 3-5 females would be a nice addition, they are not any more expensive than many other fish, in Canada, an out 35-40 bucks a fish, 3 for 100, 5 for 150.
One female will change to a male in about 3 months and turn more red DCBC1358-0CD8-4604-B0A7-6817E456B5BD.jpeg 4EC567C2-B4F5-4B20-80C6-9089602377BB.jpeg
 
What about a Gynocanthus (Sp?) Angel pair. i have e Bellus Angel Pair in my 150. Big and peaceful. Always on the move in upper part of the tank.

Why? My tank is semi-aggressive and all fish would be much larger than the dominoes.

I’ve been looking so long for a bellus angel
