Hi! I have recently acquired a 55gal tank and i feel like im ready to try saltwater. Ive had great success with my 4 freshwater tanks. Basically i need stocking advice. I KNOW i want a pair of clownfish but thats all that im certain thay i want. I honestly would do an only clownfish tank but i was told to not put more than a pair of clownfish in one tank because the pair will bully the others. As i advance in this hobby id like to add an anemone and corals but definitely not until im more confident in my tank husbandry. I honestly want fewer fish and more liverock because i want to get the hang of keeping the water parameters right before adding too much to the bioload. What other small fish/inverts do you recommend for beginners that wont take up too much space? (I alsp like the idea of a starfish or urchin in the future)
 
Check out some of the wrasses there are many kinds!
