I am ready to add some more fish to my reef. It has been running since September of 2019, but after losing my SPS corals, I am doing a reboot. I reworked some of the aquascape to be more open for better flow. My current fish are one Sailfin Tang, one Chocolate Tang, one Foxface, one Oscellaris Clownfish, two Yellow Tail Damsels, two Neon Gobies, and one Royal Gramma. I want to get several Fairy Wrasses from different species and will plan for them according to the chart shared by Hunter Hammond. I would like another Oscellaris, but think it might be best to get this fish paired up with an anemone before placing it in the tank. I'm not 100% sure about the anemone as I don't want it to cause problems with the corals or other fish.
I would like one or more shrimp gobies like the Orange Stripe Prawn Goby with a Pistol Shrimp, but I'm afraid they may be intimidated by the size of the larger fish. This is the same reason I think a nice school of Zebra Barred Dartfish won't work out. I don't want the mess of any Sand Sifting Gobies.
I am thinking about some Resplendent Anthias and later on some Dispar or Ignitus, but the quarantine vendor only has Resplendent and Bimacs in stock. I am hesitant about Bimacs as they sound more aggressive. Lyretails are a no go due to aggressiveness and Uronema.
Blue Green Chromis are out due to cannibalism and Uronema. Too bad, because they make nice dither fish.
I thought about some Flasher Wrasses, a male and some females, but again, I'm worried that they may be intimidated by the larger fish. I had a really nice Ruby Head Fairy Wrasse and recently lost it. I think that several Fairy Wrasses will do well. I also plan to increase the depth of my sand bed so I can add some Leopard Wrasses.
I'm thinking about one Kaudern's Cardinal Fish as I've read they they become cannibals in multiples.
I'm planning on four or five Chalk Bass, a Swissguard Basslet, some Kamohara Blennies, and a Possum Wrasse.
I want Clams, Feather Duster Worms, Shrimp (Skunk Cleaner), snails and hermit crabs.
I have spent a lot of time researching and keep coming up with road blocks to a peaceful community reef tank. As I don't have a tank full of live rock, I also worry about hiding/sleeping places for some of these fish. The ones that will bury in the sand will be fine. I thought about adding some Barnacle clusters. What are your experiences? What do you recommend? I appreciate your help!
