75G Stocking Ideas
Looking for some stocking options for my 75G with corals. I currently have a purple firefish, red head goby, and bicolor blenny. I am looking for fish that will not bother my inverts and corals and are not prone to hiding. I like the fish I have but they hang out inside the rock work most of the time. Some of the ideas I had are foxface lo, kole yellow eye tang, tanaka's pygmy wrasse. Just looking for some other ideas.

Love my foxface but they tend to be a bit shy and will hide if you approach the tank, at least mine does. My coral beauty is all over the tank but is also kind of the bully of the tank.
Maybe look at some of the reef safe wrasses, some very colorful fish in that group.

Look into fairy and flasher wrasses. Just make sure to make a screen top for the tank and not to put more than one flasher wrasse in the tank as they will fight.

I was thinking of a flame angel, but I heard they will nip at corals. I do have screen tops on my tank now so I should be safe from jumpers. I will take a look at the wrasse family.

Looked around liveaquaria's website and found these.
Ignitus Anthias  Bartlett's Anthias  Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse  Longfin Fairy Wrasse  Thoughts on these? If you had to choose between the foxface lo and the kole tang which would you choose?

Those who have flame angels. Have you had issues of them nipping at your corals?

Feedback on Neon Dottyback
Would like to get some feedback on a neon dottyback. My lfs has one he states is from the Red Sea and that it is more peaceful than a normal neon. Anyone know if this is true. He had it in a nano with a couple other fish, corals, and a cleaner shrimp. It did not seem to even care that the shrimp was even in the tank. I like the looks of the fish but I do not want to put my existing livestock at risk.
My tank is currently stocked with: purple firefish red head goby bicolor blenny cleaner shrimp peppermint shrimp serpent sea star hermit crabs snails bristle worms brittle stars.
