Your about at what I would say my max is for your but you could consider a peaceful wrasse. As for your cleaner crew id reccomend reefcleaners.com for all kinds of things. You might wanna get some florida ceriths, stomatella snails and astreas.

You can always add more CUC and corals to a tank! For fish, you are getting pretty close to being maxed out. I would get a peaceful wrasse like cdemoss said, firefish, or a cardinal. @i cant think can give you wrasse suggestions

Thank you for replying guys. Love your suggestions. I’d like to add maybe a Dragonette. Do you think that will be cool?

They are cool, but you need to read up on their care and feeding, they aren't the easiest fish to keep.

Yes for sure, I’ve got another tank with a breeding pair of clowns and they are really territorial. Had lots of bites of them lol. These clowns in this tank are quite shy, they are still young. I was thinking about royal gramma didn’t know if the tangs would mess with it, my pink spotted goby is quite territorial, but I’d like another one.

Added a gramma. The tangs didn’t like him at first but he’s settled in now. Thank you for you’re suggestions

He’s a lovely looking fish
