I'm currently building a 40BR as a replacement for my 55 bowfront and planning the stock list so I can buy my fish and get them in quarantine asap.

I have an ocellaris clown, a three stripe damsel, a scooter blenny, a camel shrimp, a chocolate chip star and a small CUC that will be transferred into the new tank.

What else would be a good addition to this family? I was thinking maybe a wrasse or a Pygmy angel. I plan on keeping some lps as well so I don't want anything that will munch on coral

A chocolate chip star will eLPSsome corals.

The damsel will be problematic for any fish that wants to be near the rockwork.

Perhaps a small fairy wradde ot flasher wrasse, but a Halichoeres species will likely outcompete a scooter blenny for pods.

A Meiacanthus species of blenny will work. So will a watchman goby and pistol shrimp combo.

I might throw the starfish down in the sump if that's the case. Will he be fine down there? I'm planning on having a small refugium in my 10g sump
