Hi reefers! New to reefing(technically haven’t started corals) still working on stocking and getting parameters right. Currently have a Red Sea 60gal display w/ 20 gal sump.
Current fish:
Starry blenny
Tomini tang
Orchid dottyback
3 firefish
2 oscellarius clowns

Want list(utilitarian)
Goby(for sand sifting)
Filefish(aptasia management)
6 line wrasse

Want for fun:
Hogfish
Bengali cardinal

thoughts? Guidance? All of your insights are helpful!!

I would say one or two more fish depending on how active the fish you are choosing will be. You are pretty close to being fully stocked. For the list you put down as far as capatibility:

Want list(utilitarian)
Goby(for sand sifting): dottyback might not like it but orchids are more chill. I would just buy nassarius snails for this purpose

Filefish(aptasia management): if you mean aiptasia eating filefish it is probably a 75% chance of it going after corals and not even touching the aiptasia

6 line wrasse : 50/50 chance of it biting every fish in your tank and can kill fish

Want for fun:
Hogfish: depends on if you have any ornamental shrimp and many species get way too large
Bengali cardinal: fine but many like a strict meaty diet of things like mysis shrimp so just something to keep in mind
