Need advice for stocking 40G

[The_Underwater_Gardener]

Hello all!

I have a 5 month old 40G

Currently have:
2 clownfish
Pistol shrimp/watchman goby pair
Royal gamma
Tailspot blenny
Scarlet red hermit crab
5 snails
Skunk red cleaner shrimp

Coral:
Zoas
Hammer
Torch
Frogspawn
Favia

I want some advice on what other livestock I should add? Any ideas on a fish with lots of personality?

Thanks all! [emoji4]

I would suggest a wrasse

Here are a few suggestions of commonly found wrasses, make sure you take the time to research before you buy:

Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse
McCosker's Fairy Wrasse
Carpenter's Fairy Wrasse
Melanurus Wrasse (might eat your hermits and snails though)
Sixline, Fourline, or PinStripe Wrasse (can be a bit mean to newcomers)

I agree, a tank without some kind of Wrasse just isn't complete IMHO. The suggestions above are great ones with the exception of the Melanurus (gets too big for the 40 g unless it's a 40 Long) and any of the lined wrasses (ie 6 line and 4 line) are bad choices IMHO as they get way too aggressive and the 6 line can turn into a flat out pescacidal maniac when they mature.
