    What do you think about these fish for my 70 gallon reef. I already have a lonely clown fish with a tiny royal gramma and a little starry blenny. My tank is getting pretty boring cause you can only look at coral for so long. What do you think about these as a couple new additions???

    Flame Hawkfish

    Your comments much appreciated!

    The angelfish most likely will be a problem with your coral. I believe Hawkfish are not necessarily reef safe. The rest are good. I think you could go with any combination of 2 selections except the Chromis that would be the only addition I would make. The Mystery Wrasse may harass any new comers once it is established.

    Yes, i only considered the angel fish cause it says that "they may nip at stony polyps" and i dont have any of those. Only soft corals. May i ask why i won't be able to house more than 2 chromis?

    I think John meany, add any two of those fish, unless chrmois, then you can add those 5, but no others.

    I wouldn't get the Bicolor Angel if you ever plan to keep LPS or SPS. I'm a fan of Angel's in reefs, but Bicolors have a bad reputation for destroying reef tanks. If you want an angel, I would go with a Cherub, Flameback, or maybe a Coral Beauty.
