-Starcki Damsel
-Watchmen Gobi and Pistol Shrimp
-Gold Midas Blenny

I think thats a good list but personally I would get one more 'bigger' fish that you will see more often. Maybe like a foxface or another smaller tang. I dont have much experience with wrasses but I know the gobies and royal gramma like to hide for quite some time and only come out sporadically. And depending how old the clownfish are and their personalities but like my clowns in a 65 gallon hide in the back corner near the plumbing and only get to see them swim during feeding time.

Thank you for the feedback, that makes a lot of sense - ill have to do some more digging. Just want to make sure I dont end up on the heavy end of the bio load for a 100g

Seems like a good list. See how they adjust after you aquascape and then you will know if you can add a few more. Throw some cool inverts in there like a banded shrimp and fire red cleaner shrimp too.
