    i have a 55g reef tank with 2 clowns a blue damsel and clown goby. does any one have an idea on a fish that i could add? i dont want any fish that eat copepods or anyther type of POD, no potentially no reef safe fish. so i was thinking maybe a type of blenny but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Blennies, like the fanged kind are always pretty nice critters to have. They are more of a free swimming blenny, and don't rest on the rocks and hop around like an algae blenny does.

    A couple of this kind are
    Canary blenny, lined blenny, forktail blenny, mozambique blenny.

    Here is the striped or lined blenny

    The body shape is the same for the rest of these blennies, but coloration and caudal (tail) fin lengths vary.

    oh crap. i read your post and thought you said you were a fan of yellow fish.

    a wrasse might work but if your damsel killed your firefish it might kill a small wrasse too.
    you could try something more aggressive like a royal gramma or psuedo
