I have a Reefer170 which is a mixed reef including a dozen different acropora. I have a pair of Blood Red shrimps and a pair of Boxer shrimps (both pairs have been in the tank circa 4 years). I’d like to consider buying certain fish (I.e. Hawkfish) but do not want to put these shrimps at risk.
Fish wise I have a Banner Wrasse and a pair of Royal Blue Damsels (Chrysiptera Springeri). Neither of which really stand out in the tank.
I’m looking to add some more fish but want them to ideally be ‘showstoppers’ or, at worst, create a interesting ‘picture’.
I was thinking:
1. A few more brightly coloured damsels but I’ve read this is a risk and, if trying, should be other Chrysiptera which aren’t that bright imo.
2. A clownfish - I do not have any anemones but understand that’s not a problem.
3. Some Anthias - but understand they are hard to keep for any length of time.
Any other options anyone feels would be worth looking into please - bearing in mind I want them to be ‘seen’ a lot.
