I have a 90 gallon reef tank. For fish i have 2 tru perc clownfish, foxface, two spot hogfish, lyretail anthias, yellow watchman goby, purple firefish, algae blenny and a royal gramma i wanted one more fish but i can't really find one that is reef safe and ok with those fish. All opinions please!

How about a small purple tang? since you are adding it last is should be fine,, even with the foxface, imo

 

[lesleybird]

How about some type of small butterfly or dwarf angelfish?

The foxie is the biggest fish in the tank. I would not add a purple tang. They need plenty of space to swim. They grow to a pretty good size, around 9-10 inches, and can be aggressive if not housed properly.

A kole tang would work well in there.

not too big, but not too small either. mine has seemed to max out at about 4.5-5", but is only about 7 months old.

btw, depending on how much live rock, how old it is, and whether you have a fuge or not, a mandarin would work nicely with those fish as well.

He will get bigger! He also may have had a stunted growth from the poor condition he was in. Koles grow to around seven inches.

well i want a fish that ain't a grazer because i will be scared that it will start picking at my corals or something.

Hiya,
I'd second the six line. I've got one in my 46 bow front and it's always darting around doing stuff. Nice fish and it's not to big.

Flame angels are not reef safe at all. Some may have one that isn't bothering anything. There are exceptions to every rule. They are not to be trusted in a reef tank because coral is part of their diet. I do agree on the six line though.

yea flame angel is def out of the question i just got rid of one because he was starting to nip at my SPS corals.
