I mentioned the Springeri Dottyback but didn't think about the Royal Gramma. I'll pass that along as a possible "last fish to add".

Coral is what he's wanting and it's a small tank.
Black cap basslet would be another alternative to the Royal Gramma. Regular fire fish or hellfreichi are pretty as well.

I hear hanging a small mirror on one end of the tank can help alleviate some aggression in Tangs. I've never tried it though, so can't speak from experience.
Don’t think it really removes their aggression, but redirects it toward themselves. They will spend a lot of time trying to interact with their reflection instead of other fish. I guess the constant effort to get at their reflection does ware them down a bit and makes them less likely to to go after others. Worked well with mine at first. Worried they were going to bloody their noses banging on the glass.

We did that with cichlids too in freshwater. Gives the fish a distraction to the new guy until they get use to something different in the tank.

Just like rearranging the tank, the art of distraction.

I had this conversation with my old boss yesterday! He was asking what "cool" fish he should get for his new 32! All I could come up with was Molly Miller, Springeri Damsel, Springeri Dottyback, Court Jester or Hector's Goby, Clown Goby, and a Yasha Haza/Randall's Shrimp combo...
Barnacle blennies are cool, small, zip about like lightning in and out of their hole. I was watching a video of them and it's funny watching them.
He could get a small barnacle cluster from a souvenir shop online, it would look neat if the take up resident in it also.

Clingfish you don't see often.

Red scooters, red or starry dragonet, pretty and colorful.

it's for my 180
I read to place the eggs in a container away from fish and a few aiptasia in it. They hatch, eat and wonder off. Could be 100-200+ nudis in a single cluster.

If I ordered nudis I would get some eggs too. Could be the population you need. I wouldn't just order eggs, but tossing and extra $5 in the order isn't much.

I guess you could try to stuff them in the rocks too.

Edit: oh eggs are out of stock... Maybe wait a week or email them?
