Trying to figure out what to add next. 72 gallon bow front reef. Pair of b/w clowns, yellow tang, 6l wrasse, and a diamond WG. Id like something with good color.

looked at some of the dwarf angels. coral beauty and flame but they both seem like a 50/50 shot.

Maybe anthias? have not looked at them much and dont know much about them.

considering Chalk Bass. any other good options from that family?


any other ideas? What do you keep in your reef tank?

What do you mean by 50/50? That they will be munchers? FWIW, I've had great luck with flame angels and there were numerous times in the past year that I didn't feed my tank for a couple/few weeks. My tank had a crocea, a few LPS, leathers, and zoas at the time. He never picked a coral and never thinned out...he found plenty of tidbits in/on the rocks.

I really like my tailspot blenny. He has a great personality. I have also had great luck in the past with flame angels. If my tank wasn't so small, I'd put one in there.

I had three firefish, and it was great, as they would school, until one jumped and now the two I have don't hang out together, hmmm, might have to pick up another 3. So I would get 5!
