Im planning out a stocking list for a 300x100x50cm (1500 litre) reef with a shallow area that takes up about 50cm on the end for mangroves and clams. Do you guys think a banana wrasse (thalassoma lutescens) would be okay instead of a yellow 'coris' wrasse because the tank is so large? Got quite a few maybe fish but those will likely just be added later down the line. By the way all fish are from the sulawesi and raja ampat area, im trying to make a biotope ish stocking list.


Angelfish + Butterflys
1x Pygoplites diacanthus - Regal Angelfish (Biota)
1x Pomacanthus navarchus - Majestic Angelfish (Biota)
1x Chelmon rostratus - Copperband Butterfly
Maybe Biota Multibar Angel
Maybe Genicanthus sp.


Tangs/Surgeonfish + Rabbitfish
1x Acanthus blochii - Ring Tail Surgeonfish
1x Paracanthurus hepatus - Blue Hippo Tang
1x Acanthurus nigricans - Whitecheek Tang
1x Zebrasoma veliferum - Sailfin Tang
1x Siganus doliatus - Scribbled Rabbitfish
Maybe Dussumeri Tang

Wrasses
1x Anampses meleagrides - Yellow Tail Tamarin Wrasse
1x Anampses neoguinaicus - New Guinea Tamarin Wrasse
1x Macropharyngodon ornatus - Ornate Leopard Wrasse
1x Macropharyngodon meleagris - Spotted Leopard Wrasse
1x Halichoeres chrysus - Yellow ‘Coris’ Wrasse or Thalassoma lutescens - Banana Wrasse
1x Halichoeres marginatus - Dusky Wrasse

Miscellaneous
1x Synchiropus splendidus - Mandarin Dragonet
3x Doryrhamphus janssi - Janss’ Pipefish
