    I have a 65 gallon, mixed sps and LPS tank
    currently I have 2 clowns, 2 azures, 1 yellow watchman goby and 1 starry blenny, 1 cleaner shrimp, multiple inverts.

    I am wanting to buy 1 possibly 2 more fish. I would sort of like something with some size.
    What suggestions do you all have? What am I missing that every tank should have?

    I want to say a dwarf angel but you will have to get one that is fairly large in order to limit aggression from the damsels.

    flamehawk and a wrasse :) although the wrasse may not fare well with the damsels

    Maybe an anthias? again you're limited by the damsels

    A lionfish. Will take care of the damsel situation.

    I like the flamehawk idea.
    Any suggestions on dwarf angel that is least likely to mess with my corals. I've had back luck thus far with Angels liking my Acans and SPS

    from my reading, it's a gamble with individual fish of the dwarfs whether they will pick on corals or not. I have a coral beauty that seems to leave my corals alone but I do not keep sps. I love my flamehawk - tons of personality, beautiful color, and always active perching all over the tank.
