The stock list is fine, but im not really a fan of addibg starfish. Most eat corals and the ones that dont wind up starving to death.

ill skip the starfish, and add a blenny (i was going to [forgot]). If i add a blenny it *might* be overstocked, but i think the 105 gallons is just the display tank, not the sump, and the sump increases water volume.

I don’t know about 5 neon gobies. I would suggest maybe two.

I would discourage getting a damsel of any kind. They are beautiful and hardy fish but they often become insanely aggressive.

Instead of the damsel, you might think of a flasher or fairy wrasse.

You might be able to put a yellow tang in there, but that might be a bit much.

Ive been thinking about a yellow tang, but 2 tangs in one tank?
about the damsels, i have done plenty of research and know that MOST species are ruthless warriors, but there are a few that are fine, especially in a large tank.

Seconding PatW's concerns about neon gobies - they're generally intolerant of others, unless they're a bonded pair. (If you could put five in there, they'd likely become pests to the other fish, as well . . . sort of like those squeegee guys in NYC.)

#10 Snowflake Moray
I have always wanted an eel, so after doing some research on reef-safe eels, I have settled on a snowflake. They will not eat fish (if properly fed- food stick thingy, and will not eat fish if fed enough, or maybe not at all). I will use some large PVC to make a lair, and some caves n stuff. I will need to eel-proof it, by making secure rock structures, and i will need to cover it. That is the downside. The thing i love about the red sea tanks is the open top, but i will have to put on a lid. Ill get a clear inconspicuous one.

Your clownfish will form a pair ... and if they choose to guest in an anemone, they'll both wind up in the same one. (Unless the 'nems are the same species, and pretty much right next to one another...)

The bubble tip anemone is one of the hardiest anemones. I think virtually all of the clown species will host in it.
