Stocking ideas needed for a 60g

[Salty_Box_Reef]

Looking to add another fish or possibly two, as my corals need more poo. Currently have two juvenile clowns, a cherub angel, and a yellow clown goby. ideas on what will get along and add some color to the tank? Id like a wrasse but would need one that leaves my sexy shrimp alone, another thing Im considering is a sunburst anthias possibly.

I have a sunburst anthias and really love it. It is peaceful with my clowns and tank bred catalina goby. I don't think it would bother your sexy shrimp, but I can't tell you 100% because i do not have any sexys. One thing you could do is put a micro carpet nem in for your sexies.

As far as the Anthias you need to make sure you have lots of hiding places, and get used to feeding it multiple times (2-3) a day with small servings of food. Once the anthias gets stable it will be awesome. Wrasses can be aggressive to clowns. I had one that almost killed my onyx picasso... he had to go.

What about a firefish. Anyone of those will add some color

Yeah I might do a couple firefish. Looking at most wrasses I think Ill have to skip them all together and I have a featherduster as well as the sexy shrimp, so they might not play well together.

Did you look into Leopard Wrasses?

What are the tank dimensions? Standard 60g? Assuming it's at least 36" long and completely covered, Paracheilinus wrasses would be my pick.

Wrasses can be aggressive to clowns.

That's completely subjective to the genus at hand. I'm guessing your experience was with a Pseudocheilinus wrasse.

So long as you take away the Halichoeres genus, that basically leaves all of the other reef safe genera of wrasses still on the table.

Quote from evolved: "That's completely subjective to the genus at hand I'm guessing your experience was with a Pseudocheilinus wrasse."

That is Correct Six Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia) was the culprit

I wasn't specific enough, sorry

decided to go cheap and basic. Firefish and a blue/green chromis.
