What can I add to my tank?

I am looking for some advice on what I can add to my tank. I have 5 small clowns, 1 yellow tang, and a humu huma trigger. I am looking for some variety in rocks, plants, or maybe some coral to make the tank look more natural. What about any inverts can I add any?

What do you have in way of clean up? What about lighting?
scarlet hermits, blue legg hermits, turbo snails, emerald crabs.
feather dusters, are nice. button and star polyps, mushrooms, are nice corals that are hardy.
Serpant and brittle stars make good clean ups too.

playtime, i think you missed the trigger in the tank. From what i hear about triggers, you might have a hard time keeping ANY inverts with that guy in there. They might end up being an expensive snack. You might want to add some macro algae or somthing for your tang to munch on, it also looks good, IMO. How about some live rock, can't go wrong there.

Good catch!!! You are right. I didn't pay attention to the trigger. Don't add inverts or corals including feather dusters. Not sure the clowns are gonna fair too well either eventually. sorry I missed it. I think you might want to make a decision as to what type of tank you want. Agressive or not. Triggers are not community fish. They are preditors. The tang should be fine but I would keep an eye on it. Maybe some larger angels would work. More live rock will add a nice touch. If you have a good lfs that carries live rock, I would personally hand pick each piece trying to vary the color etc. They do carry some coral replicas and fake plants that look nice too.
I did read a few posts about cowry snails being semi safe with agressive fish. Not real sure though. Might ask in the search section.
