Hi guys - starting a 90 gallon Sps frag tank. Any suggestions for numbers and type of fish. Looking for a core group of herbivores, and a mix of other fish for pest control. Will be a bare bottom tank. Thanks for your suggestions!

not all blennies are corallivores, most reports come from the Ecsenius genus and the leopard blenny. ive had no problems with my algae blennyOut of curiosity, do you plan on having a sand pot in the corner?
Or even just a fine layer of 1-2” sand in the bottom, I highly recommend 2-3 wrasses for pests, Halichoeres species are the best with this.
For herbivores, I’d add a Foxface and a Ctenochaetus species of tang, I have this combo in my mixed reef and they’re perfect. Avoid blennies - These guys have SPS in their wild diet.
I’ve had issues with most of the common blennies in captivity, including the Salarias genus.not all blennies are corallivores, most reports come from the Ecsenius genus and the leopard blenny. ive had no problems with my algae blenny
hm, i guess it could be a hit or missI’ve had issues with most of the common blennies in captivity, including the Salarias genus.
The filefish also risk having a diet of corals, even CB ones can go for SPS IME.you could probably do a one spot foxface, pink streak wrasse for pest control (if you dont have a sand tub), yellow coris if you have a sand tub, and a captive bred aptasia eating filefish (biota ones specifically)
