Hi everyone - I am looking for recommendations for stocking my 26 gallon.

Right now I have:
-1 ocellaris clownfish
-1 premium picasso clown
-1 flameback angel

As for corals, this will be a softie tank:
-Leathers
-Mushrooms
-Maybeeee an anenome when the tank is more established

This is an office tank so I'm trying to keep it as low maintenance as possible.

The problem: my clownfish host the back wall, and my flameback just hides in the rock work.

The way I see it - I really only have room for two more fish... I'd like them to be active in the water column.

I was thinking sixline wrasse? maybe a royal gramma? yellow watchman goby? (they kind of hide though) perhaps a exquisite firefish?

any recommendations?

Got some pics of the tank? I'm not sure I would consider more fish with those clowns owning a good portion of the real-estate.

Meh if you mean a good portion of the real estate being the top right corner of the wall - you would be correct lol

My wife and I love our firefish and watchman in our tank! If you get a watchman shrimp pair, that is a fun combo.

Had a watchman goby and shrimp in my last tank - and they were cool to watch especially the shrimp - but the problem is, the goby was almost always hiding
