Hello, I have a Royal Dottyback in my tank and 2 Clowns, 1 shrimp and 4 hermite crabs. The dottyback is very peaceful, but now i'm thinking of getting a Black Dotted Boxfish and a Six Lined Wrasse. They are just so cool :)
Anyone here who has any experience in having those together?
I'm very new in having saltwater fish/aquarium

And if a boxfish dies in your tank, it's going to kill everything.
I don't recommend putting a dottyback with a sixline wrasse, they will fight constantly.
