Looking for some ideas for a few new additions not more than $50 typical. No tangs. Considering blenny (midas, canary, forktail) I do have BT anemones and zoas I want to keep. Haven't had luck with firefish for some reason.

Tank is 300 gallon w/
hippo tang
pair of maroons (not aggressive)
gramma
copperband
flame and bicolor angel (both semi agressive)
striped goby
lemon chromis
electric blue damsel (peaceful)
 
Anthias
Heniocus butterfly
Pyramid butterfly
Fire fish goby
 
Do you have SPS or LPS? If not, I'd get a nice butterfly like a Peppered Butterfly, Bennetti Butterfly, or something like that...not sure what they cost over there though...
 
Harlequin Bass are really cool— usually listed under “miscellaneous” fish on some sites.
 
A ton of tiny gobies! My favorites are neon gobies, redhead gobies, and clown gobies. Flametail blennies are also cool. Also wrasses!

Go for Wrasses, some break the bank but all are worth it!
Personal favourites of mine are;
- Pseudojuloides atavai
- Cirrhilabrus roseafascia
- Cirrhilabrus naokoae
- Paracheilinus atennuatus
- Paracheilinus cyaneus

Thanks. I've looked at many wrasses but can never decide. Nice to narrow it down some.
 
No tangs hub? I'd add some fish like cardinals. Silver monos.
Hawkfish would be a good choice maybe.

I like those but know they are perchers and afraid my flame might bother it . Are they bold enough to be in there?
