Love a pink streaked wrasse. Mine helped control flatworms and is very inquisitive.

Tomato clowns do get large and aggressive.

I would just get some normal clowns, tomato clowns are too aggressive for that size tank.

All of the fish in the list should work together. Only get a few of them though, not all of them if that’s what you’re asking.

possum wrasse for sure, they seem so intelligent. Any young tang from the fish store would cool too. Raising them to larger sizes is always a great experience.

I say a pair of clowns, a blend of some kind, a goby, and maybe a damsel or dottyback added last (due to aggression) for some movement in the tank. Royal grammas are cool too but they can be shy and stay in the rocks.

yes was definitely thinking of getting a smaller tang! I was thinking a smaller koi scopas tang that I could eventually put in my 160 gallon

I've only added a few dozen snails so far. Letting the tank do a deep cycle while I wait for my spotcinctus clown pair to be delivered from ORA!
