Had to remove all the rock in my 125 because my coral beauty decided that he liked to eat my zoos and other softies. So out he came. also decided to take out my YT and trade him in.
Current stocklist:
3 PJ cardinals
1 Nemo
1 Maroon clown
11 B/G chromis
1 Royal Gramma
1 Arch-Eyed Hawk
Serpent star
Coral Banded Shrimp
Fire shrimp
2 Cleaner shrimp
Looking to keep the fish on the smaller side. Not a big enough sand bed for gobies. Not interested in tangs. I'm just completely stumped on what I should put in. I really want a nice colorful show piece type fish.

The maroon clown (these guys can be very aggressive) will go after nemo sooner or later, different clown species don't get along. I also think your shrimp are in trouble with the hawkfish. Hawks are great fish, but way under-rated as an invert predator. They'll even settle for a leg, if that's all they can get. I'd look at some of the smaller, reef/invert safe wrasse. Flasher & fairy wrasse are great choices. Many of the larger wrasse are not reef/invert safe. A trio of anthias would be good too. You really have a zillion choices. BTW. bouncing this stuff off this forum is a great move---I wish I had this great tool to help me learn.

I have alot of rock, nemo takes one side of the tank and the maroon the other. I've only seen them fight when nemo was orignally added. As far the hawk, I have not seen him go after or show any interest in shrimp. Hopefully he won't. I like my shrimp but it would just be too difficult to get the hawk out now. I def. like the flasher wrasse and the barlett anthias trio.
I said I wouldn't get any more tangs but I went out and bought a Blue spotted Kole tang for 30$. -_-
