Hi everyone,
I currently have a 25 gallon tank with a VERY peaceful and active clownfish pair (no aggression with them, at all they do their own thing) and super healthy blue spotted jaw fish. The clownfish stay in their host and the jaw fish in his burrow, so I have some open swimming space to fill. I have a small CUC consisting of hermits and sand conches. I want to add one more fish. Either one that will help manage hitchhikers on my corals (maybe a pink streaked wrasse?) or a nice showpiece or eccentric/rare fish.
Thanks!

pink streaked or possum wrasse could help with pests but aren't guaranteed to do so once you start feeding the tank.

i would suggest a captive bred court jester goby which will help with keeping certain algae at bay, and then focus on good dipping/qt protocol for corals
