I have a Redsea max, about 50 gallons if you count the sump (about 40 gallons of swimming space in the front). My tank has been running for about 6-7 months and going well. My parameters are dialed in and stable and my stock is as follows:

1 Pavo Damsel
1 Orchid Dotty back
2 Clown Fish
1 Emerald Crab who lives in a cave and only comes out for food.
Few other small snails, crabs etc.

I also have a few corals that are starting to grow.

I'm looking to stock with some next fish that are reef safe and compatible with the above stocking. My biggest concern is that dotty back. I know she's aggressive (or at least can be) to something that looks like her and/or is her size.

Looking for suggestions!

I have had a Yellow Watchmen Goby for about six years now and find it fun to find which cave they stick their head out of. Not a fish that will be swimming around, but I highly doubt any issues with the fish you currently have.

oh man, trust me I want a watchman Goby so bad. I actually lost one to the Dottyback. I thought they'd be fine together but it happened so quick, I can't sacrifice another one. That'll be for my next tank for sure. Thanks for the input.
