Suggestions for fish 55g Reef system

Hi everyone, its been a while since ive posted, been away at college and havent been around the tank that much, as of right now I have a 55g reef system with softies and one LPS, current fish stock is 2 Clown fish and a Potters Angel, I am looked to add 2 more fish but havent really found any that click with me/ I would be concerned that the potters angel would pick on them to much. I am looking for something like either a type of wrasse and a goby, however I dont have a lid and I have lost a 6line in the past because of not having one. So fish prone to jumping is out of the question. Any thoughts on a fish that would go well with the tank needs/ what you guys think looks cool or has interesting personalities would be greatly appreciated!

 

Well there's your problem. ALL WARSSE ARE PRONE TO JUMPING. Most gobies are too.

 

Mandarin Dragonet's are cool, I had one in my 75g. and loved it. You will need a lot of pods though to keep it fed.

 

Even clowns have been known to jump :-/

Get some kind of a cover on there. 1/4" mesh works great and won't affect your light. Once that is done, one or two wrasses would be great, a Blenny (such as Midas, my favorite Blenny), Goby, Royal Gramma, etc just for a few suggestions.

 

My leopard wrasse has never shown any interest in the moving too fast toward the top. As a matter of fact, he stays pretty low in the tank. It's kinda tough sometimes to find one that wants to eat though.

 

by 1/4 inch mesh do you mean the white plastic egg crate stuff?

 

No, that is a light diffuser. That has 1/2" holes and believe it or not a lot of fish can still fit through. Bulk Reef Supply sells 1/4" mesh that you can cut as needed. Do some searching on 3reef for what others have done as there are plenty of great options out there to cover your tank.

 

+1
I just prefer glass tops though.

 

Ok so I am ordering the mesh so wrase are an option, I am heading back to my school later this week and they have a mandarin program in there wet lab where they train them onto non live foods and even pellets, I will most likely be able to get one. I have one question that I have often heard many mixed reviews from, that is when a mandarin is trained onto pellet food, does it need to be fed in small doses multiple times a day or will it be able to live with feeding once a day or once everyother day?
