Stocking a 40b

[Gareth elliott]

Lost my purple fire fish earlier this week that had been with me since my first tank

What are some fish you would add with a clown pair in a mixed reef.
Coral safe, low aggression, preferably outgoing.

Some options include: yellow assessor, Meiacanthus blenny, longnose or flame hawk, swales basslet, royal gramma.

So went a very different direction lol. Bought a lubbock’s fairy wrasse. Came with a free banded coral shrimp thats missing one claw.(bought from an invert tank, must have been in the net).

There were some other fish that would work but either looked lethargic or didnt feel i had the micro fauna for (red scooter dragonet )
Wasnt planning on an invert purchase so ttm it is.

Have CP if need to treat and will just rehome the shrimp if i need to.

Probably a Little small for a fairy, but not terrible.

Careful with those coral banded shrimp. Don't trust them like the Lysmata (cleaners).

Wrasses don't handle CP.

Thanks you!

I dont know why i didnt check that first

Will pick up some copper when i am out later so have on hand.

Is the difference of the 3” of height between a 50g and my 40b going to be an issue with the wrasse?

The Cbb is a yellow leg so on the smaller side.

Lubbocks will be fine in a 40g.

So i have my lubbocks added. To DT after successfully going through TTM.

Say if i wanted to add a pink streak wrasse, would temperaments flair? If this wouldnt work would there be another possible coral pest predator to add?

Pink streak would work well.
