Add slowly, test frequently. Inches of fish per gallon is the most useless and archaic guideline ever.

Good to know! So looking at this list and knowing the dimensions and volume of the tank do you think its over crowded? What order and in what numbers should these be added? I have the watchman, firefish, and melanarus that will be added first all at once to make room in my 20g for QT the next group. I was thinking do all the wrasse next. Then blenny, cardinals, and anthias. Then tangs last. Dont know best time to add the clowns. Was thinking last with the tangs. Just taking a guess here
Thanks!

Whether or not you add a clam makes a big difference as to whether or not you could roll the dice on a dwarf angel or butterfly.
I may skip out on keeping clams. Do you think the addition of an angel and butterfly would pose any compatibility issues with presently listed fish? My concern is overcrowding at this point.
And lets get some sp. suggestion too
For some reason the Coral Beauty is typically the most "reef safe" dwarf angel. At least in my experience. But nothing is guaranteed and things can change as they mature.
A Pyramid Butterfly is the only "reef safe" butterfly, but personally I would roll the dice on a Copperband. They are beautiful fish with such an amazing personality. Other than clams, they will sometimes nip at zoas and fleshy LPS like acans. I would add the butterfly before the angel & tangs to mitigate aggression.

Yup a CB and Pyramid would probably be choices i would make. A flame angel instead of CB an option but its less reef compatible than CB. Would love a coral banded, but acans and euphyllia are my favorite lps.
