Fish suggestions

[OpenOcean33]

I have a red sea max e260 (69gallons) set up now for about one year. This is a mixed reef tank (i can say thing now with my two sps coral ). I currently have stock with two bullet hole clowns, one flame angel, and one firefish. Looking for some suggestions for new additions to my tank any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Smaller Halichoeres gets my vote

flashers! carpenters or Mccoskers are great.

do u have a sandbed? like others said, wrasses for the win

also gotta have a blenny. that goofy face staring at u from a random hole in the rocks

They jump (wrasse) need to have good cover. Get a Melanurus Wrasse and a Blue Throat Fairy wrasse. The Flame angel is fairly aggressive, you cannot keep pushover wrasse in there.
I also add another Flame angel to get a pair.

Don’t get the green wrasse (Halichores) they lose color with age and turn into jerks. Same goes for the 4 and 6 line wrasse. Make sure you QT though they can carry many illnesses without showing signs and flukes are common also.

maybe some damsel like saphire or yellow tail
chalk basslet
yellow wrasse
hawkfish

I do have a sand bed, about 2 inches, so i had a midas blenny who was super aggressive towards the filefish. I was thinking a starry blenny

I like the yellow wrasse a lot, a little plain but that yellow pops.

I seem to recall you having a way to id flame angels to pair them up. I thought I had it saved somewhere..

I like the yellow wrasee. And hawk fishes for sure

 

[Frtdrmrose7]

Ornate leopard or blue star leopard also are beautiful and priced right

that was my thought too, so i was going to get one of the more exotic halichoeres, but that yellow is crazy bright. i'm glad i have her, they're cool fish.

and bummer about the mean midas, mine is like a golden retriever. i've seen people say starry blennies can be mean too, maybe try a fanged blenny?

I would even try another midas I think it's just luck ?
