Live Stock Suggestions for Colro Specific Theme

[dwalampa]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of setting up a tank in our office and have an idea of stocking up the tank with live stocks based on the color palette of our brand.

The primary colors are BLUE and ORANGE with accent colors being MAROON, WHITE, BEIGE, and BLACK. I can't think of too many livestock options being of the primary and accent colors.

Just want to get some suggestions on what you may think is cool to stock up such a tank based on colors of the live stock (compatibility considered of course). Below are some information on the tank and things that came to mind. Thanks.

Tank:
~100G, 5 feet wide, 30" front/back, 17" deep.

Livestock:
Blue Carpet Anemone pair with Orange Clownfishes

Montipora Setosa
Cali/Oregon Tort

Maybe Goniopora or Brain corals that are kind of maroon?

Welcome to Reef2Reef! There are plenty of corals that could work, but I'll leave suggestions of those for people who are better versed in corals at this time. So, excluding corals, here are some livestock that could work for you:

Fish:
-Flame Angelfish
-Coral Beauty Angelfish
-Flameback Angelfish
-Flame Fin Tomini Tang
-Yellowtail Damselfish
-Blue Gudgeon Dartfish
-Anthias (lots of Anthia species have orangish colorations)
-Blue Assessor Basslet

Depending on your definition of maroon, Flame Hawkfish or Starry Blenny might work, or there are tons of wrasses that come in various shades of red (and a few that have/may be blue too).

Depending on your definition of beige, there are a bunch of blennies, basslets, and gobies that could work.

This link may help with the black and white livestock ideas (there's another link in one of the first posts on the thread that may help too):

Inverts:
-Blue Leg Hermit Crab
-Electric Blue Hermit Crab
-Halloween Hermit Crab
-Some urchins could work
-Some sea cucumbers could work (some species are safer for your fish than others - sand sifting species are usually safer)
-Feather Duster Worms or Christmas Tree Worms (these are usually a bit higher maintenance)

Depends on how into reef you wanna go. If you are careful in your coral selections a Chrysurus Angel (adult phase) hits most of your color options and is a pretty striking fish.

There are orange tail damsels - Which are brillant blue with orange tail (obvious from the name)

Blue Fish - Blue Tangs, Koran Angel, Blue Neon Goby, Flame Back Angel, Cherub Angel, Springeri Damsels, Juvenile Imperator Angel,

Orange Fish - Naked Clowns, Sqaumapinnis Anthias, Randalls Goby, Flame Angel, Arabian Pseudochromis, Navarchus Angel (Stunning)

For corals - It's going to depend on your lighting what colors you get. Getting blue corals requires blue light but with enough white that the blue stands out. Blue Gonipora, Blue Microthalmas, Blue Zoas

Thanks for suggestions, especially the fishes. Any thoughts on corals?

Thanks. Will definitely look into the Chrysurus Angel. Think this tank may be a tad small for it.

Noted on the suggestions of corals. Let me know if more corals come to mind.

Haven't done nearly as much research on corals yet, but there are some orange and blue mushroom corals, acan/micro lords, zoas, chalices, lobos, favias, etc. Plenty of corals can be found it just orange or just blue too.

For minor colors, maybe Star Coral or Red Shell Coral? The only black coral I know offhand is NPS, so I wouldn't recommend it just due to the difficulty of care.
