i would suggest some compatible wrasses.

I have a few threads about wrasses in the link under my sig.

Wrasses are still a world i am exploring, but overall, they seem like awesome fish :)
the only wrasse im interested in right now is either a leopard, another cleaner, Katherines Fairy, Crescent Fairy, or a Koi

what yall think about indigo hamlets?
Those a great fish may try to eat fish that will fit in its mouth. They are gorgeous. Mine died after swallowing a rubber band. It fell in when I was cleaning the tank. Chalk or tobacco bass they are great fish.
Do you have any dwarf angels?

Do you have any triggers? Crosshatch if you got money to burn, but blue throats are sweet and not insanely expensive. I have a male, he’s my favorite fish! Lots of personality.
are they reef safe? i got a bunch of inverts in my tank.

Yea. I have a clam, hermits, oodles of snails. He’s just after the mysis and his reflection.

Just only look into the Xanthichthys genus. They are known to be reef safe.

hmm. never really thought about triggers because of the idea that they may eat inverts. also i heard they move the sand bed a lot. I think i may get one to try it.

I was nervous at first to. But he really has been a model citizen. He doesn’t mess with my sand at all actually. And yea inverts have been 100% fine, I keep him well fed though.
