Hi there!
I need some suggestions for stocking my 90-gallon mixed reef tank
Currently, I have:
1 juvenile Tomini Tang
1 blue-green Chromis
1 Blue-sided Wrasse
1 Scarlet Hawkfish
1 green spit mandarin
2 Gladiator Clownfish
1 Blue-cheeked Goby
2 clown Gobies (I’d get rid of if I could catch them haha)
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 red starfish
2 emerald crabs
A few blue-legged hermit crabs
Several nassarius snails, 1 conch, and a few other snails

I would like more movement in the water column and was thinking possibly
1 female Lyretail Anthius
1 Yellow Tang (if I can ever find one available)

I’m open to suggestions. My goal is variety and color. I don’t really want multiples of the same fish and I want to be able to see them, which is why I’m not happy with my 2 green gobies.
I also know I’m getting close to being overstocked but I am planning an upgrade to 125 or slightly larger within the next year.

Thanks in advance for your expertise

a yellow tang would be nice:3
 
I’m sorry you’re not seeing your Green Warpaint Clown Gobies. I have 1, and it’s my favorite fish. I won’t see him half the time, but often will come into view when I’m sitting in front of the tank checking things out. He probably thinks I’m there to feed them, which is true at times.
Perhaps the issue is territorial, as I have read you can have issues with having more than one.
