Need ideas for stocking my 90g reef tank

[Jason mack]

Hi fellow Reefers ,
I was hoping you could help me decide what fish and how Many i can put in my 90g .
At the moment i have 2 clown fish ,1 spotted mandarin . I would have liked too get a yellow watchman goby and a pistol shrimp , but after reading the shrimp isnt a very reef safe candidate , decided against it , unless there is a reef safe that Will join with the goby?
So if Anybody can give me any ideas other than a yellow tang , for some nice friendly with a bit of a wow factor ,it would be much appreciated .
Tank inhabitants so far
2 clown
1 spotted mandarin
1 cleaner shrimp
2 sexy shrimp
3 hermit crabs
2 conch snails
1 nassarus snail

Cheers , Mack !

For how many more you can add - what is your filtration setup like? What size of sump, fuge, skimmer, etc?

The only reason a pistol shrimp isn't reef safe is if you have frags on the sand bed that it can move and if your rock is unsteady. I have a reef tank and plan on getting at least one goby pistol pair. Maybe two.

I read that pistol shrimp will kill cuc and even small fish is that not true ?

They could but so can your clownfish... when I've had them they've never done any killing.

I'll second Lowstorm, in that pistol shrimp are quite reef safe.

With sexy shrimp I would be wary of hawkfish and wrasses.

Some recommendations: purple tilefish, midas blenny, sunburst anthias, firefish, a group of zebra or scissortail dartfish.
