the butterflies are not reef safe research what you want and decide after learning compatability, and you need to give tank info before you can get suggestions from the people here. a tang won't go in a 29 for example tobin

also a valentini puffer is not reef safe he will eat all your inverts, and the only tangs u can get away with in a 55 gallon tank are kole, yellow, and those baby blue hippos.

Alot of fish on your list are not reef safe. You need to slow down and research your fishes on your list. Tangs will outgrow a 55G tank in no time. They do best in tanks 125G and larger. Your SFE will eventually eat your damsels sooner than you think. You might as well go with an aggressive tank set-up. We need to know how big is your tank.

my tank is a 55 kinda on the small size I know........I heard that the copperband is only picky towards anemones and polyps? I forgot that butterflys arent reef safe......lets see what else isnt......puffers....purple and tomini tangs get to big.....prob do a kole or yellow for 6 months but then they would have to leave.....small blennies will get eaten..........some big gobies maybe ok...........prop only one anthias for my size tank (they need to get fed often)........
could I have
2x pink skunk clowns
1x kole tang (till he gets to big)
1x lemonpeel angel
1x copperband butterfly or foxface?
would this work?
you guys im sure will help me change it.
Thanks,
