Hey reefing family, I know there’s plenty of threads out there but I wanted to be specific on my stock so you guys can help me out in choosing what fish I can add.
I just recently started with some zoas, candy canes, gsp, and a hairy leather! All doing well so far. My current fish list is as follows
1.Maroon clown with two nemz ( RBTA & GREEN)
2. Sailfin tang
3. Fox face
4. White tail bristle tooth
5. Midas blenny
6. Coral beauty
7. Orchid dotty
8. Red flame hawk
9. Mandarin
10. Small yellow tail damsel ( the OG)

Tank is a 90 with a 30 gal sump with established fuge , been thriving since the overhaul in 2020. also have a uv sterilizer going, what fish you guys think I can add without any headaches?
 
All of em but i would add the maroons last. Will get seriously territorial
 
I think all those fish are quite nice! Like you said above, you should probably add the clown(s) last as they will be territorial. Maroons are also more aggressive species I belive, I've seen people call them devils lol.

I would also make sure you have enough pods, snails, and other creatures the mandarins feed on so he will be happy!

Ok i got u. I added some mollys for the schooling aspect. Plus they make babys that feed the tank eat algae and are always out. Come in some cool colors that look good under blue light too. Other than those u could try a minipuffer.
 
Ahhh okay!

Have you considered a blue tang? Or did you want something less common?
I already have two tangs , sailfin and whitetail bristle tooth. I really wanted a semi aggressive clown trigger or blue belly trigger but they aren’t reef safe
