90 Gallon Open to Suggestions

[Devisissy]

I know nothing about reef fish. I have been told by a few that my stocking is list is too much for my 90 gallon. So I am looking for more suggestions. I currently have two clowns and a cleaner shrimp and that's what I have had since I started this tank and have been fishless in the tank before, so I never learned much about fish. The clowns are 6 years old and the shrimp 3. Anyway this is the list split into how they will be QT and who gets into the main display first. I QT for 8 weeks.

1st
Existing clowns and cleaner shrimp.

2nd
Tailspot Blenny
Randalls Assessor Basslet
Zebra Barred Dartfish x2

3rd
Purple Firefish
Pajama Cardinal x5

4th
Anthias Dispar
Second Tailspot Blenny

So I would look away from the anthias until you are more confident in fish, perhaps look into flasher or fairy wrasses.

Defiantly reconsidering the Anthias. If I had a bigger tank I'd get a bunch of females and a male.

Also 2 tailspots don't generally get along. What about a dwarf angel, or pair of dwarfs. or a wrasse, halichoeres and some fairies, or if your willing to limit yourself to just one wrasse then perhaps a mystery, or sixline.

Not interested in Tangs or Angels as I have seen them eat a fair share of coral. Knowing my luck. My buddies sixline is the biggest ****** fish I have ever witnessed so probably stick with the Ruby Longfin or something similar. I did not know tailspots don't get a long so I will stick to one for sure. The halichoeres is a beautiful fish but I saw a vid of one eating some sps. I am much more about the coral than the fish to be honest. I may actually wait several years before even getting into fish. Two lonely clowns in 90 gallons!

halichoeres wrasses don't eat coral, it may have been going after a pod or a pest. they're quite beneficial in a reef if you have sand
