Hi all,

I have a 50 cube that is mostly SPS with some LPS + Zoas. Currently has the following fish:
- Two Clowns
- Randall's Goby
- Elongated Dottyback
- Hermits, Snails, and a Conch

I had a Lawn Mower blenny but I believe my dottyback harassed him to death :/

Im looking to add 1-3 more fish depending on their size. These are a few of the options I was thinking of in no particular order:
- Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse
- Red-Lined Wrasse
- Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse
- Sunburst Anthias (might be a stretch for a 50 cube)
- Royal Gramma

Im mostly worried about my dottyback and his aggression. So any recomendations on other fish that would work well would be great, or any tips into the above ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
Sixline wrasse and Flame hawkfish are two that got along great with my dottybacks. Maybe an Azure damsel?

Im just a little worried about a sixline since they have a bit of a reputation. The flame hawkfish will definitely go on my list. TY
