I have a lot of small fish and the tank feels kind of empty. However, I’m not sure what I can safely add. Please offer recommendations. Its a coral reef set up that’s 200+ gallons. Currently I have a mandarin goby, target goby, many types of shrimp and crabs, 1 neon dottyback, 6 yellow tail damsels, 5 green chromis and 1 talblot pink damsel. They often swim around together, seem happy, no fighting. My biggest fish in there is the mandarin goby because he’s been in there forever and got unusually large for that fish.

lol baby for reference? I would get the lighting in order first before worrying about the fish, but there are soooo many options for fish in a 200+ gallon tank. I would honestly just go onto liveaquaria and look at all the reef safe options and check if they fit into a 200 gallon tank and choose whichever ones you like. After picking a few (this tank can hold a lot more fish and much larger ones at that) post them here and we can let you know how well they would do. I wouldnt ever buy from live aquaria though too many issues with sick fish from there

Tangs are an awesome option :)
I like the sailfin tang but I’m worried it might have issues with all the damsels. What are your thoughts?
Also, here is the most current image. I’m sitting in front of my tank now thinking about what should go here lol.

It is a beautiful, beautiful tank! I’m not too sure on tangs with damsels. Might have to do some research. But the options are almost endless when you have a tank of that size!
