Help On Next Fish Purchase.....

Tanks been up since March. 55 gallon with 60 lbs dry rock and 60 lbs dry sand. There's another 20 gallons down in my sump and DSP fuge with chaeto. Pods galore. Here's my current livestock.

Firefish
Starry Blenny
Yellow Clown Goby (soon to be banished to fuge since he always goes down my overflow into sump.)
Cerith, Astrea, & Nassarius Snails
Hermits
Skunk Cleaners
Peppermints
Feather dusters

Green Hairy Mushrooms
Green Palys
Frogspawn
War Coral
Candy Cane
Sun Coral
Orange Digitata
Purple Digitata
Open Brain
Toadstool Leather

As you can imagine my tank looks pretty barren with little to no movement. The Starry Blenny just loafs around all day in the rocks and the shrimp hide for the most part too. The Yellow Clown pretty much loafs around on the coral unless he's in my overflow or sump. lol The most active thing is my firefish. lol

I'd like some suggestions on what else to add. I would like an ocellaris eventually but was gonna add him towards the end. Also interested in a Royal Gramma. I do have the materials to cover the tank but I still need to put them together.

Any ideas to liven up the tank a bit?

One of the smaller Flasher or Fairy Wrasses would be a colorful, active fish. Just make sure your tank is covered...

Here are a few fish that are reef safe and relatively non-agressive:
Ocellaris Clown Fish
Chromis
Carpenter or McCosker's Wasse
Royal Gramma
