Good afternoon everyone,
I wanted to gather what you all are thinking.
I have a Waterbox Marine X 90.3 Roughly 60gal display tank.
Current inhabitants are:
Two clowns
Royal Gramma
Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Engineer Goby
Yellow Coris Wrasse
Algae Blenny
Tomini Tang
Longnose Hawkfish

Are there any other fish that I can get and keep a peaceful community?
Tank is Mostly LPS and Zoanthid tank

I'd love to hear your suggestions!

A few I'll throw out there: an few green chromis, flame hawkfish, coral beauty dwarf angel, any variant of dottyback...
Thanks for the suggestions.
I am definitely looking into the Flame Angel.
I am worried about the chromis attacking each other. I heard they can do that.
I was also thinking of a diamond goby but am worried he'll conflict with the engineer goby.

I honestly don't know what the deal is with chromis, but I've experienced losses with them while never seeing any outward signs of aggression.

I currently have 6x large green chromis that school together (all from the same batch) and 2x bicolor/2x black bar chromis that hang out in pairs.

Diamond goby will be planned for way later down the line. Do you think 18 months would be mature enough?
Excellent suggestion on the swiss guard. Would it get along with my Royal Gramma?
Not 100% sure mine seems peaceful not sure how to gramma would be to him never had a gramma

I had a Flame Angel in a 40g tank. Beautiful fish, always in the water column, most dominate animal in the tank. On the down side and and all LPS got destroyed by it. The only thing that survived was a big torch and some paly's. Definately not a good reef fish, but it was beautiful.

I have a blue streak sleepy goby and I love him. He's so cool because he sifts through sand through hisouth and it comes out through his gills. Definitely worth a consideration. Plus the added bonus of cleaning extra food and detritus from the sand bed.

Scooter Blenny and watch it "fly" from rock to rock. Mellow and tons of personality! Eats frozen mysis and doesn't need copepods to survive.

Chromis in groups of 3 or more only. I have a diamond and an engineer in my 75 with no problems. I added them both at the same time and i

Mine added after the tank was 6 months old with a engineer at the same time. Besides keeping my sandbed pristine they both eat frozen mysis shrimp as well as pellets and have grown fat and large doing so...lol.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback.
I think polypal is right it's quite stocked already. Therefore, I believe I will only add a diamond goby to help maintain the sand bed. It's the only part of the tank (sandbed) that really needs some assistance.

Famous last words "Just one more fish"

With the goby and my two conchs plus the wrasse I should have plenty of turnover.

Thanks everyone!

I really don’t recommend it… These aren’t only active but large and can drain the sand bed of life. These are a species best left for the 2-5+ year old tanks that are 4’ or bigger. I have a slightly more detailed post on here so if you want to know then I can find it for you :)
