Give me some good fish ideas please! So far I have:
2 clownfish
1 baby yellow tang
1 royal gramma basslet
1 firefish
1 engineer goby

is this overstocked already? I want some big fish but only if they can stay in a 55 all their life, unlike the tang. I plan on rehoming the tang once it gets big.

What about dwarf angel - either flame angel or coral beauty

Hawkfish is great. Gobies, blennies. Many of the damsels (ones that stay small), Anthias and some reef safe wrasses. You can add a few more. Consider their needs: open swimmers, those who hang in the rocks and bottom fish. Try to balance.
