I have a 29gallon biocube set up with an addition 40 gallon sump on the system. I was looking for some ideas on some more fish to add to the system, the current stock list is as followed.
2 Mocha clowns, around 1.75-2 inches in size
1 coral band shrimp
2 astrea snails
2 red legged hermits
1 nassirus snail.
1 Ultra Maxima
a few zoanthid colonies
5 zoa frags
1 ricordea
2 heads of frogspawn.

Looking for either 1 large fish that will be suitable or a few more smaller fish that will be ok, I understand tangs and most dwarf angels are out of the question. Also for anyone curious I will be dosing the refugium with 2-3 bottles of tisbe pods to jump start my pod colonies.

You could look at a school of cardinals...something different than the usual...like red stoplight or yellow striped. I used to have a 29g BC and kept 2 clowns, a midas blenny, a tri-color wrasse, and a small diamond goby. I also had a peppermint shrimp, cleaner shrimp, 3 sexy shrimp, and snails.

I've been looking at six line wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, tangora goby and maybe just maybe a yellow banded possum wrasse.

Sixlines can get aggressive and yellow coris wrasses get too large.
