Hi all!

Just recently upgraded from a fluval flex 32.5 to a prostar 90. Currently have the following fish/corals:
- 2 clowns
- 1 starry blenny
- 1 aptasia eating filefish
- 1 valentini puffer
- 1 orangeback wrasse
- 1 BTA
- 1 kenya tree

Currently qt'ing a tomini tang and an exquisite fairy wrasse.

I'm looking for recommendations on additional fish and any corals for the tank. I was interested in adding a kole tang and maybe more wrasse but open to suggestions.

Here’s some recommendations off the top off my head:
Yellow tang or kole
Fox face
Marine betta
Leopard wrasse
Flame angel
Coral beauty
sapphire damsel
Royal gramma
Flasher wrasse
Cardinal pair
Jawfish
Mandarin(if you have a sump)
Midas blenny
YWG pair

I have seen a wrasse compatibility sheet on here somewhere. Wrasses are great and interesting. My current fish list and they all get along..2 misbar ocellaris clowns, starry blenny, a 2 spot bristletooth tang, kamohara blenny, blue neon goby, cleaner wrasse, fairy wrasse, dragon wrasse. Maybe this will help a little. I don't know that you can put a Kole and a Tomini together.

Dragon wrasse! Is it a reef tank?…That could be a problem.
 
No, lol ...this one is a fowlr. My beautiful dragon makes mountains and valleys all day. Gets up about an hour after sunrise and goes to bed about an hour before. I could watch that fish all day❤️
 
As long as corals are glued to rock a dragon should be ok . Mine doesn't rearrange rock, yet. But still only about 4 inches.
 
Hey this tank looks familiar. Maybe wait out the files stages before adding too many corals. Buy if you would like to start off I’d go with some zoas or LPs to help you gauge your stability. Also I love royal grama a super bright and beautiful fish it will stick out for sure!!!
 
I would not add two tangs to that 90 gallon, especially from the same genus. If you’re looking for a similarly shaped fish go with a dwarf angel. I would recommend a flame angel and a trio of one of the leopard wrasse species.
