A little help from our friends?

Campfiregirl · Dec 30, 2020

Good morning fellow fish keepers and reefers!

My husband and I are reaching out for a little help, we are looking to get one more fish for our 90 gallon reef tank. We would prefer a grazer, we just don't know which one to get, so we are reaching out to you for some help/advice.

Current tank occupants include:
1 Yellow Tang
1 Stripped Blenny
1 Orange Spotted Goby
2 Clown Fish
3 Peppermint Shrimp

Thank you!

Would you consider a Rabbitfish? Assuming this is a mixed reef, angels and butterfly's don't seem to be an option. Fairy and Flasher wrasses are incredibly beautiful but not necessarily a grazer, could fit maybe 2 though!

Starry blenny

And don't sleep on urchins and snails.

We are thinking about both of these wrasses. Not sure about the Rabbitfish, it requires a much bigger tank than what we have.

I feel like a terrible fishy Mom, I forgot to include our Molly Miller Blenny. I'm sure they would butt heads

Maybe you forgot about your Molly Miller because he is always hiding in the rocks?

Not only does he hide in the rocks, but blends right in. Where's Waldo?

Tomini or Kole Tang? I have a Tomini but would probably lean more towards the Kole if my tank was as big as yours is and you want a grazer.

A Javanese (Blue Velvet Neon) Damsel is a beautiful, hardy, inexpensive fish and is reef safe. They are very active fish and like to swim about. The Coral Beauty pictured with him would not likely be reef safe.
