I’m just wondering if you guys have any suggestions on which other fish or inverts I can put in my 70 gallon tank. Been running for over 6 months. I’ve added in the past a 6 line wrasse that ate one of my peppermint shrimp. So I Gave him to a friend and a coral beauty but my tangs wouldn’t leave him alone and he died.

Occupants are-
Tomini tang
Scopas tang. both very territorial
3 chromis
Midas blenny
2 clowns
Pink stop goby

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.

Clowns may be Unwelcoming but you can add a couple Small fish such as Royal Gramma, neon goby, pajama cardinal, starry blenny as examples

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.
 
27 tangs and they could care less about my gramma
 
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
