Suggestion for additional reef fish and corals

[Longthemarine]

so I’m not usually the type to post things on here to get anyone’s opinion because not all opinions are friendly or helpful. But I’d like to see what you guys had to say. currently I have a very large naso tang, hippo tang, purple tang, and the red sea sailfin Tang, a female leopard dress, and a midis blenny. Are there any suggestions for

where to go next with fish or coral?

This tank looks good!

Nice tank. What about a wrasse with all that sand space you have or a meat coral?

Love wrasses. Looking for friends for my female leopard wrasse

Beautiful tank! What size tank (dimensions) is it?

Also in terms of fish, from the pictures you also have a clown pair and trigger but didn’t list it in your post though - do you still have those?

I have a standard 240 gallon (8x2x2) and have a 10+ inch blonde naso and sailfin. Those things get big and would be my concern for adding more fish.

Depending the size of your tank, maybe get a few anthias? If there are concerns with bioload or feeding schedules with anthias, you could get some cardinal fish or blennies. I personally like mixing it up with a few smaller fish.

Again, great looking tank

Live aquaria has reef comparability chart. Very helpful in picking fish. Coral wise, go stores, shows, visit online vendors. It’s your tank, you have to be into what you keep

Maybe some type of flasher or fairy wrasse? A flasher would add a daily show towards lights out thats really cool to watch. A cheap, friendly fairy in my experience is a Lubbock's fairy wrasse. I'm sure they'd do well and get along with your leopard. I don't really care for "pairs" of wrasse anymore, ones pretty much just getting punked into staying female but thats just my experience on it.

I think some type of clam would look great in there if the trigger is no longer on the list.

Great looking tank, well done. I like the open front.

Great looking tank. Some Anthias would be a nice addition

I have a yellow coris wrasse with my leopard and they get along well. Like others said, a school of anthias would look great. Maybe add a goby and shrimp pair; my favorite is the Randall's goby

I appreciate all of the responses my thoughts are right in line with most of yours. Looking at a few other wrasses of blennies. I like anthias but I work a lot and I know they like to eat multiple times a day. It’s a 120gal I think 2’x4’x2’.

I just moved up to Menifee and so far haven’t found any LFSs that I’m impressed with.

Yes I still have the blue jaw and clowns also

Coris wrasse would be cool...but they can be CUC hunters. But, with that nice sand, I mean, any sand sifting goby, even a yasha goby paired with a shrimp...but your wrasse might take a nip at the shrimp if he gets hungry. A sandsifter will definitely keep that sandbed clean...and move it around a bit which is nice to watch. You'll never have to worry about brown sand. I've had a diamond watchmen goby for a while and my sand is always white --- albeit....sometimes I need to destroy his dwelling because he's / she decides to pull too much sand to one side.
