The title says it all. I have a 55 mixed reef that houses 2 ocellaris clowns, a starry blenny, lemon peel angel and a to be removed bicolor dottyback. Any suggestions? It must not be a fish prone to jumping. I have a completely open top.

Thanks!

Make some clear mesh tops and get a mystery wrasse. Mine is one of my favorites along with my flame wrasse.

Coral beauty, starki damsel, how about a flaming prawn goby and a tiger or red carribean pistol shrimp? A fathead starburst anthias...very nice, non aggressive larger fish that when it is the only one in the tank, they don't dart around as much.

Tank you for your time,

Do you have coral? Most fish are prone to jumping so I would suggest a top with screen. Fish suggestion from me would be a Scott's fairy wrasse but only with a top:)
