Newbie here! I am shamelessly looking for your ideas!

I have a 120G reef tank that already has the following fish — 2 snowflake clowns, diamond watchman goby, blue reef chromis, and a starry blenny. The tank also has a maxima clam, bubble tip anemone, kenya tree coral, green star polyp, 2 feather dusters, and frogspawn euphyllia. I will be adding more corals over time.

I’m hoping to learn from the collective intelligence and experience in this group. What fish would you want to add to this tank if it was your ”dream stocking plan”?

Thanks in advance!
 
I believe it's a rule at R2R that we can't help you until you provide pictures.;Hilarious j/k I"m not much help at this point as I am getting ready to start stocking my first SW tank soon. gl
 
For me, definitely the wrasses....flashers and halichoeres kinds.....lots to choose from
 
I currently have a 120 right now. My red lined wrasse is definitely my favorite fish. It is a model citizen aside from eating the occasional hermit. 10/10 would recommend.
 
Thanks so much for everyone’s thoughts!

Definitely want to add a yellow tang, and a wrasse. The challenge I have with wrasses is that there are so many to choose from and I‘d be pi***ed if it started nipping at the maxima clam or feather dusters. So thanks for suggesting a few that seem like they’d work. I’ll head over to the wrasse lovers page once I’ve narrowed down my choices.

Please keep sending ideas!

Any fairy (Cirrhilabrus), flasher (Paracheilinus), or small Halichoeres will be totally clam and coral safe. Some Halichoeres supposedly could go after your feather dusters, but I've never heard of if....and I don't ever keep feather dusters.
