Building a stocking list for a soon to be delivered WB AIO 65.4. The tank itself is 4ftish long. I currently have a IM 20 AIO. I will be moving over all livestock once the WB is cycled.

I currently have the following livestock in the IM 20 high will be moved over.

Pair of Ocellaris Clows
Spotted Green Mandarin (Eats frozen)
Cleaner shrimp
Blood fire shrimp
2 Mexican Turbo Snails
6 Nassarius Snails
GSP
Assorted Zoas
Assorted Hammers
RBTA
Rainbow Favia
Firework Clove Polyps
One Green Torch

I plan on using crushed coral as substrate, so no sand sifters or wrasses in the WB.

Current PLANNED stocking list

Two Occelaris clowns
Spotted Green Mandarin
Various CUC
Purple Firefish Goby’s
Long nose Hawk fish

Now come the tough part. This tank will be the display tank in the home. I want active and colorful fish that guest will be drawn into. I absolutely LOVE CB Butterfly and Purple Tangs. I’m aware that 4ft is not quite long enough to sustain these two. Any other recommendations of fish that will be active, colorful and happy/healthy in this size tank?
