I have 2 clowns, 2 crabs and 6 snails so far...I'd like to add a royal gramma, foxface, yellow tang and maybe a firefish...whats the best order to put them in in?
Which fish first?

People will want to know the size of your tank.

You will get different opinions, but personally I'd skip both the Tang and Foxface in a 55.
Add skittish fish like Firefish early so they can get used to the tank and establish a home territory.

As far as the royal gramma.. I have one ,and I must say they are a trip!!! He swims forward,backward,sideways..very unique breed of fish.He does tend to hide in the rockwork but when he does come out,it is something to see. Very good choice IMO.

So no yellow tang...but the foxface, royal gramma and firefire would be alright? In what order should I add them?

Your in the same position I was in. I got a 55 gallon thinking I could add the yellow tang and found out my tank was too small. But just think, the foxface can get bigger than the tang. So I have decided to go with smaller fish with bigger personalities. So far I have a maroon clown and plan on adding a dwarf angel. I think the royal gramma would be a good fish, and a goby would be great too. Dont get upset with not having the tang or foxface. The smaller fish are just as much fun.

If you are planning on corals be wary of any Angels. You never know when one is going to take a liking to eating your corals.

No corals for now...we don't have the best lighting and I like chocolate chip stars so for now, no corals I don't think.
