Tankmates needed

[Sticker shock]

I have a pair of cinnamon clowns and a leopard wrasse. The wrasse appears to have settled in nicely and was picking at the rocks minutes after adding him, and he was eating frozen mysis at the lfs. I’m wondering what would make a good tankmate for these guys. I dont want a tang, something that will decimate the pod population, or bury my corals in sand. My tank is a standard 75 gallon. I’d like to add another wrasse or two but I’m not sure what would be compatible. A couple I was thinking of were the Christmas wrasse and a Ruby fairy wrasse.

A hawkfish would work nicely

I do have a couple shrimp...should have added that. So hawkfish, while I do like them, are not an option for now.

Goby, basslet, Kleini butterfly or trio of firefish goby (and theyre cheap in price)

Goby and shrimp pair, royal gramma, long nose hawkfish, tailspot blenny.

At about how many fish would I max out? I know there isn’t a secret formula, but could I fit a Kleini Butterfly and possibly a Midas Blenny? Or is that pushing it once they all grow out? I’d like it comfortable and not too hectic.

You will be just fine. Nice amount of room for all fish and good compatibility. An inch per gallon of fully grown fish is a good rule of thumb.

Two spot gobies are great. They sift the sand well but do not carpet bomb the corals,
