Additional tank mates or corals

[haigyfish]

Hey y’all dumb question but was just
Curious if I can add any other creatures or coral ideas for my tank.
I currently have a 9 month old tank with 2 paired clownfish, 2 gobies, 1 YWMG, 1 dartfish, and 1 filefish that’ picks at everything (saw it try to nip by brittle starfish). I have a sand sifter starfish as well as 4 turbo snails 4 nassarius snails. Green star polyps are thriving in my tank but would love some other coral ideas?
Also have a peppermint and cleaner shrimp, my pistol got buried under a rock and haven’t seen it in 1 month!

How big is the tank? That will depend on stocking for fish. Zoa corals are super cool in my opinion and so are mushrooms. Shouldnt be an issue!

what size is the tank? Thats the most important info.

I don’t know about other fish without knowing current nutrients or filtration
And not knowing what lights you’re using it’s hard to suggest specific corals .

zoas , mushrooms ,
Hammer or torch frags .

Always room for more corals! Depends on lighting and parameters, but some easy ones that I like: Green finger leather, discosoma mushrooms, kenya tree, duncans, galaxe (will sting anything near it!), monti caps, monti digi. . .

I agree with everyone else with get more coral!

At 7 fish in a 30, I would say your tank is fully stocked. I only kept 5 fish in my 32 gallon.

The nice thing with a reef tank is you can almost always find a spot for another coral. A healthy reef tank can have corals from wall to wall, across the sand, up the sides, all the way across the tank, growing on the pumps. Corals can easily adapt to growing on just about any surface and have the ability to keep growing till they run out of light or run into a more powerful coral.

From the photo you posted, you have a long way to go before you are filled up with corals.
