Alright, I'm about to have a tank that will only have a pair of mocha clowns and a 6 line. It's a reefer 350. Help me pick my other fish! What would you guys get?
 
I have a 350 currently and I have the following

(2)Clowns
Starry Blenny
Yellow Tang
Coral Beauty
Fairy Wrasse
Mandarin
Goby/Pistol pair

(2)Fire Shrimp
(2)Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
(10 ish) Peppermint Shrimp
(3) Conches
(2) Cucumbers
assorted snails and hermits
 
Oops! Forgot to mention it's a mixed reef....

I love coral beauties! Do you think I could have one with coral?
 
So after reading all day, this is what I'm thinking. Please let me know OK or not OK.

Already have:
Mixed reef + clam
Paired clowns
1 very small 6 line wrasse - hoping to add these other fish soon so he gets checked early

Want to add:
2 banggai cardinals
1 Bristletooth Tomini Tang or another bristletooth variety
1 Coral beauty or Flame Angel
1 Pink spotted watchman goby + pistol shrimp

Recommendations on which to add first/last would be great too. Thank you!
 
Sail fin Tang
Dwarf Angel
Dotty Back any kind
Watchman Goby
Carpenter wrasse or Leopard
If you can find and afford Purple Tang
Magnificent Foxface or Bicolor
Squareback Anthias

Any combo of the above IMO

That looks pretty good. Most of those fish won't notice each other. Add tang last. Cardinals will work if you happen to get a male+female, otherwise they will fight.

No, on these two, for tank size reasons.
 
Thank you. Any opinions on how it will look too? I've seen so many tanks where it's so well thought out and just a great synergy and balance of color. Will this group of fish look like a bunch of impulse buys? LOL!

I don't think you really need to Feng shui your fish. Fish are beautiful in any orientation and grouping.

habitat zones and compatibility is all that really matters
