Fish Options

I am about to start stocking my 55 gallon.
I am wanting a pair of black and white clowns I also am thinking about getting a mandarin goby later on.
I would like a couple more fish that are:
1. coral and invert safe
2. non jumpers as I don't have a lid on my tank
3. non poisonious, I don't like things that sting

any suggestions?

 

some awesome looking wrasses , flame angel, or coral beauty. all nice fish. and i havent had any probs with the angels nipping corals. but as always all fish are different. tangs would get too big for your tank.

 

I really like the blue and yellow angelfish Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Bicolor Angelfish Dwarf Angel

but it says it will nip at inverts and soft corals.
Has anyone had any experience with this fish in a reef tank?

 

If you like angels heres a few linkis to Mimic tangs that look like angels but are tangs.. Keep in mind just idea's here

Link: Lemonpeel Mimic Tang 3-5 in. (Acanthurus pyroferus) - Reef Hot Spot

Link:Indian Ocean Mimic Tang (Eibli)

Link:Half Black Mimic Tang, Chocolate Surgeonfish - Acanthurus pyroferus

Here you go theres a few ideas for the Angel look with the coral safe appitite...


Good Luck...

 

Well the problem I run in with Tangs is that I only have a 55 gallon and most of them need larger tanks.
I would LOVE to have a powder brown.

 

I agree with the powder.. i am not sure of the size of the mimic's but thought may be a safe alternitive...

 

I've got a mimic lemon-peel in my 80 gal, very interesting and fun to watch, always weaving in and out of live rock, and constantly picking algae off everything.

 

a powder brown would be fine as a juvenile, but he would eventually outgrow the tank. tangs, imo, need at least 75 gallons.
