hello! i own a 30 gallon tank (about 1 month in after cycle) and currently have an oscellaris clown + banggai cardinal , 2 small hermits, and one cleaner shrimp as well as some leathers and zoas.

i’m ready to start researching another fish and thought it might be cool to get inspiration from you guys! just looking for a good aka peaceful tank mate for the clown and banggai and corals as well. i was considering a scooter blenny but your input would be appreciated!thank you (have about 20lbs of live rock and 2 in. sand bed if that helps!

I just have 2 gobby in 30 gallon tank
Try clown fish, blennies (the free swimmers are more friendly towards each other), tiger gobies, red head gobies, long nose hawk(a small one), wasp fish, barnacle blennies, royal gramma etc...

I agree with everyone else's suggestions, but have you considered a friend for the first clown? You could probably put 2 more fish in there, a friend for the clown, and something colorful or fun like a gramma or a blenny.
