Okay I want to add a new fish into my tank that will stun people under the 20k radions i have in my 90 gal.

I have currently:

1 Purple Tang - around 6"
2 Hippos - around 6"
1 Tomato Clown - around 6"
1 Orange Ocellaris & 1 Black Ocellaris - around 2.5-3"
1 Royal Gramma - around 4.5"
1 Pink Mandarinfish - around 2"
1 Watchman Goby - around 4.5"
4 Green Chromis' - around 3.5"

I perform water changes of about 15-20 gallons weekly and dose for my corals every water change.
 
And for inverts i have:

3 peppermint shrimps
2 orange scolys
1 carpet anemone
TONS of snails, hard to count (astrea, turbo, etc)
Some tube worms i think they are called, idk

I was just thinking of some inverts i can get as well, again any advice is welcome!
 
What about a yellow coris wrasse? I think that's about as yellow as you can get with a fish! I have one in my 75g but I've heard there are chances he will snack on snails/hermits every once in a while. I've seen mine sort of peck at shells now and then, but nothing serious. Doesn't even look twice at my turbo.

Those do look very nice and get to a decent size as well. Thanks for the input!
 
My yellow corris wrasse has been wonderful. Like a streak of highlighter yellow through the tank. Always swimming and active. He's probably 3 inches or so. A great addition and very nice to look at.
 
I am not sure I would add anything else.....you already seem pretty heavily stocked with a couple of potentially very large fish.
 
Definitely grab a midas blenny! They are gorgeous and have really fun personalities. Peaceful and active fish as well.

I was thinking the same thing, thats why I added the inverts! I was thinking of a couple cleaner shrimps and a starfish but i know nothing about them :(
 
Pics of your tank??


So very sorry about picture quality! I will get better ones once i get back home next weekend!

The cleaner shrimp and starfish should be fine in your current setup....they both pretty much take care of themselves. I do not target feed either (I have a Coral Banded Shrimp and two starfish). I don't know much about adding multiple cleaner shrimps though...maybe somebody else can provide more info on that.

Yellow Coris wrasse is a very vibrant. If you can get them to slow down enough, they do have very thing pink and green stripes on their head. I have had one for two months and only a few days ago I noticed the other colors

I read this and immediately got up to look very close to my yellow coris and I didn't see any other color. I wonder if I'm just blind, or if it's a small difference between sexes or collection location maybe?
