    I have a 75g reef tank, i had 1blue hippo tang, 1 yellow tang, 1 maroon clown, 1 green mandarin, 1domino damsel and 2 yellow tail damsels.
    i sold the mandarin and the blue hippo tang to a guy with 220g tank and over 400lbs of live rock (so the mandarin have enough to eat)
    so now i have the yellow tang, the clown and the 3 damsels left. some suggested to me here to get flame angel or coral beauty.
    can i add 1 more fish in addition to the angel and what would it be?
    i'm open to any suggestions

    Is it a reef or a fowler tank. Angels are 50 50 and could pick at corals. I would go for some gobies or something since you already have fish that are active higher in the water column. Its best to have fish that occupy different areas in the tank, keeps it looking more active.

    good to know, thanks
    did you place a pvc pipe for him in the sand or it is not required? the 1 in the lfs was a little pale not as bright in color as the 1 in your picture.

    No I didn't but he has made his own tunnel system in the rock work. I'll see him in one spot and then next second he will be on the other side of the tank.;D
