Stocking 60 gallon reef tank

[AlbertaBound]

Hi all, I am setting up my first reef tank in the near future it's a red sea max 250 (I have a 180 and a 225 FOWLR predator tank already) and was hoping to get some feedback on a good stocking list, fish and corals. I want to get an anenome and a starfish at some point but I will wait until my tank is well established. Thanks in advance!

If you are just starting with reef fish I’d be sure to go with mainly easy fish that are a %100 reef safe. Then once you get Those fish in you can let them establish and start adding slightly more aggressive and risky fish. Also if doing a reef with nems be sure to cover overflow and power heads with sponge so the men dose not get shredded to pieces.

Is it a 4 foot long 60 gallon? If so, there are plenty of options for wrasses that will work (ie fairy, flasher, peaceful Halichoeres). You can also generally mix a couple of different variety wrasses in there. Halichoeres Wrases are safe with corals but will periodically pick of snails, hermits and small shrimp. The others will leave inverts alone.
