I have a 65g LPS dominant mixed reef and currently have one clown and a white tail tang (3"). They survived the ich and recently returned to the tank. I am looking to start a new batch of fish in QT and I'm wondering in what order should I add the fish below. Yes, I will either rehome the fish that outgrow the tank or upgrade.

Clown
Midas Blenny
Fathead Anthias
Porcupine Puffer (wife must have LOL) - baby 1.5"

Any other stocking ideas?

A porcupine puffer will be too big from the moment it is added, and it will eat all of your LPS

I was going to go with a baby 1.5 in. I had one before with no issues, but when my tank got ich he didn't make it through all the way through the fallow period in QT.
