my tank is a 350 liter Red Sea. my water is very clean. actually too clean so I have to get some fish to get more fish in it. I have a yellow shrimpgoby and 1 clown in another tank in quarantine because ich.

3 hermit crabs,
15 snails
1 straw conch something (it looks like a vacuum cleaner)
1 tiger pistol

mushroom coral
candy coral
montipora coral
stylogophora coral ?
chalice
duncan

I don't want any aggressive or ich magnetic fish.

in terms of corals I like lps, and some sps but I am scared about having tinius acropora

maybe schooling fish?

please help, I have no idea what to get and any advice is extremely helpful

Have you considered any wrasses? They come in beautiful colors and depending on species aren't too agressive. @i cant think can advise you on a good species

I have the XL300 tank with 5 wrasses in it. My stock is
Rohmboid wrasse
Pintail fairy wrasse
6 line wrasse
Yellow coris
Blue streak cleaner wrasse
Purple fire fish
Fangtooth blenny
Tailspot blenny
Coral beauty
Mandarin
Indigo dottyback
Cleaner shrimp
Fire red shrimp
Peppermint shrimp
2 emerald crabs
3 tuxedo urchins
Starfish
Snails

So with planning you can get a great stocking that works in harmony.

What are the dimensions of the tank? I assume that it’s a 3’x2’ tank.
If I’m correct with the dimensions then here’s a few wrasse genera I’d look into;
- Cirrhilabrus
- Pseudocheilinops
- Wetmorella
And if you have a sand bed then;
- Macropharyngodon
- Pseudojuloides
- Smaller species of Anampses
- Smaller species of Halichoeres

The Cirrhilabrus genus isn’t hard to keep (I have an article that explains their care), they’re the easiest of the genera I’ve mentioned. If you have a 2” sand bed then Halichoeres is a very close second in terms of care. I also have an article on Pseudocheilinops ataenia which explains their care (The care of those guys is I believe the equivalent to Wetmorella).


Personally I would avoid that as you don’t have much experience with wrasses. These are a hard species to keep thriving in captivity. To start with I recommend going for either a Halichoeres species (If you have sand) or Cirrhilabrus species.

If you need any more help on wrasses then you can always message me :)

The yellow tail is another difficult one so you’ll want to wait for the tank to age and get some more experience with wrasses however the dusky is a great option. They’re easy and beginner friendly.
