I have a 150 gallon 6 foot long tank that is a mixed reef with the current livestock…

2 Friendly maroon clownfish
1 One spot foxface
1 Tomini tang
1 Blue hippo tang
1 Flasher wrasse
1 fire fish

Thinking about adding (deciding between)

Blue throat trigger
Any other tang
Group of cardinals
Open to suggestions, thanks!!

Triggers are awesome @F i s h y has one completely reef safe, one of my favorite fish. Orange shoulder tang also would do well.
Blue throat! He is named chompers he bites sometimes...

Also enjoy your “friendly” days with those clowns, one day they’ll try to kill you every time u put hand I. The tank ;)
Crazy thing is they’re the nicest clowns I have. I have 4 other captive bread storm clowns and they are so mean. My maroons are nice to everything, even the biggest one which is about 5-6 inches it’s huge and old

That is AWESOME I can’t wait for the clown fish I have to get that size. They are such fun fish!! You won’t regret another tang for the algae control. Chromis are schooling and add a lot of pewp to your tank if that is wut ur into

I have almost the same fish in 125 gallon, 4 foot tank. I think you can add a flame angel (or similar); also I have a xanthurus cream angel and a flame hawkfish and 4 azure damselfish and a niger trigger. All get along 100%, no aggression, none bothering coral, mostly soft and LPS. My cardinal (pajama) is the one fish that seems too timid and only eats occasionally. I think a small schools of semi-aggressive damsels is a good idea. Also a pseudochromis/dottyback or a midas blenny might work. Also a black cap basslet might be a good add. I would consider a 6-line or melanurus wrasse, although there is some risk that the aggressive fish might bother them. Try to get fish that have different swim patterns so they stake out independent territory. Big angel and dwarf angel get along great in my tank, be sure they are different color and different size. Competition is trouble.
