Hey everyone,

So my 50 breeder has been up for over 1.5 years now and only houses 3 fish.
Two Ocellaris Clowns and a pink spotted goby. I have the typical clean up crew and a few pistol shrimp, I recently got rid of a blue spotted puffer due to a massive coral appetite. I have mostly sps in my tank and looking for ideas for fish to stock with. I'm looking for fish that will actually swim around the tank and really pretty colors.

Currently the clown pair hangs in the back corner and swims along the back of the tank and the goby only hangs in the caves and comes out for food. I have thrown around the idea of maybe some kind of wrasse (I have a sand bottom) and some blue reef chromis.

So now I turn to you my Reef2Reef family and am looking for suggestions.

I'm a fan of my 6 line wrasse :) mandarins are super colorful, but rather docile and slow. If you wanna risk the aggressiveness of a chromis, they're super active and usually pleasing to the eye :)
 
Sixlines can get aggressive as they mature.

Some options: royal gramma, midas blenny, flame hawkfish, azure damsel, retro chromis, a group of zebra dartfish.
 
I liked my yellow assessor and linespot flasher wrasse. Just make sure your tank is covered if you are thinking about fairy or flasher wrasses.
 
Thanks for the recommendations so far everyone. I do have a screen top for my tank if i decide to go the wrasse route.
 
If u have a sandbed (2" or more), u can go with the halichores wrasses (easy), or the leopard wrasses (difficult)

Flasher wrasse is also a vry good candidate
