What fish next

[kyreefville]

I realize this will come with a lot of personal preference. 54 corner lot of rock going to be more coral focused so the fish choices will be as much utilitarian needed coupled with size limitations. Thinking 5 total fish

2 clowns currently, 10 plus astrea snails, 5 trochus snails, 10 blue leg hermits. Zoanthids, paly, pulsing Xenia, Kenya tree, green toadstool, Duncan, and acan currently.

I was thinking Midas or canary Blenny, live fish store said they preferred yellow chorus wrasse for durability? Thoughts on any of these?

Is there another utility fish by (future problem fixers) that is better to put in before one of the above?

I absolutely LOVE yellow corris wrasses, they have such a beautiful color and are have amazing personalities. That is if you dont mind some snails getting murdered tho!

Midas and Canary blennies are planktiviors so not utilitarian. Yellow Wrasse is however since it can eat pests.

Biota Molly Millers (not the wild ones as they are often mis-identified and not actual molly millers) are reported to eat aiptasia and bubble algae.

the combtooth blennies would be utilitarian.

Agree on Yellow coris. Much hardier and sturdier however if youre set on blenny - then canary and assure its plump and eating. Many midas as of late have internal issues leading to edema

I’d do a malanarus wrasse or yellow candy hog fish. Both good for pest control and in my experience are docile and always out.

Can I tell them to only eat astrea snails they are cheap enough and tend to fall off rocks and die anyways.

I should add I have very little substrate mostly a dusting.

What about a lawnmower blenny? Great with algae and cute!

It’s tough when you have such limited space.
