Idea for one more fish?

[AngryMike2016]

I presently have the following fourteen fish in my Red Sea 425, and would like to get one more. Would like to hear suggestions.

midnight lightning clown
black storm clown
pink spotted goby
bullet goby
royal gramma
blue chromis
red firefish
helfrichi firefish (the two firefish seem bonded)
lawnmower blenny
tomini tang
midas blenny
three scissor tail dartfish

Maybe a wrasse? Or a one spot fox face.

I really like the one spot fox faces, but I am a bit trepidatious with the tank being primarily acropora. I may just take the gamble.

I have never had issues with my fox faces eating acros, once i had one that liked LPS, but that's only one out of the 4 or 5 I've had. I find them to be pretty safe.

 

[AngryMike2016]

I've asked around and yeah, it seems to be the consensus that MOST aren't nippy.

Also have a Foxface in a tank with acros; it's never shown any interest in them. Or any other corals.
Although if you don't have a wrasse - You should get a wrasse.

I have 24 fish in my 525xl and plan on a few more.

I know you asked for 1, but a trio of azure damsels adds striking color and constant movement.

There would be no issues with your current fish.

I’ve seen those damsels at the LFS and they are a very pretty color. Wouldn’t they be too aggressive?

I have a trio and wish I had a few more. They are striking when fed well and colored up.

My last fish. A yellow corris wrasse. Worker and beautiful. Eats flatworms. Juuust in case

[ReeferMaddness843]

Or, timor wrasse. Love mine. Super active.

The Timor wrasse is a sand dweller though. It will burrow into the sand at night to sleep. I added a cup of sand in a take out soup container that I have to top off every once in a while when he kicks it out. Without sand, they react the opposite of most other wrasses. When startled they dive down. At which point you risk them breaking their jaw if bare bottomed. But, he’s established his home and that’s the only spot he dives for me. Worked out well!
