    Mods can move this if need be, not sure really where to post.

    Anyway, as the title says I've got a reef tank 20 gallon high to be exact, currently under a 70w halide. Currently there are a pair of clowns and a well trained mandarin (it eats flakes, sometimes even from the surface, let alone the mysis etc).

    I'm not going to go full FOWLR per se, because my favorite piece of rock has xenia and blue cloves, but otherwise it'll be FOWLR.

    I'd like to add one more fish, something that wont harass the three mentioned above, but maybe something that is considered not-reef safe, because at least that way I have a reason to switch other than my laziness at perfectly maintaining the water for the corals. (my DI resin ran out so I'm in clean up mode, and after losing tons of coral I just don't want to go down that road again).

    I had a blue spotted puffer once before and that was nice, but maybe there is something else, maybe there is some small wrasse?

    Hi Chrisnif, Not sure if you were posting a question or just a basic comment on the move. FOWLR-PS – I like the idea :) Good luck with the move let us know if you need any guidance. Oh, imo a wrasse is a must …. So much personality !

    I'm looking for guidance on a fish choice. Considering trying a smaller puffer (blue spot, or something like that) but I wanted to see what other less than reef safe options there were.
