Heres my opinion. No RBTA there will stinging going on that little of a tank. Also no flame angel with a clam and corals. The maroon will get a bit big for that tank.

I'm not going to put corals near the RBTA. Why no flame angel with corals or clams? Flame angels have been successfully kept in reef tank, including clams without any problems. The maroon clownfish is far far far far far away from outgrowing the tank.

im not trying to be rude coral keeper but its their opinions and if you would like help just try to listen. The rbta will be fine but a risk when it starts to multiply, flame angels although reef safe that tend to like to nip at coral's and other hard lps,but All angels carry this risk other then the lamarack angel but imo its ugly. The maroon, will be fine but i had followed your 8 gallon diary and had foudn that you had no other fish then him. So i would be a little worried about the maroon getting territorial with the new fish adds.
Now sixlines i tell everyone (used to breed em
) they tend to be VERY territorial and may/can get very agressive over their spot. IMO i would skip out on it because maroons and territorial and sixline is territorial.........that will be a fight to the death and your maroon will win against him.

too add although u are getting a bigger tank its still not big enough to host alot of Agressive lps (examples are frogspawn torch coral bubble coral) so i would stick to only two very agressive lps and stick them far away from anything, because if the anemonee starts to tread near em they will be proned to attack.
goodluck havefun

There are 2 fish in there now. A maroon and a Royal Gramma. Both are fine and aren't aggressive toward each other.(BTW, I never asked for the Royal Gramma, got it as a birthday present from my oldest brother.
)

You might not, but your RBTA will find its way over to them. If your tank were larger then it would be a good choice. Not to say it can't be done, but I'd rather not risk it roaming around stinging things.

I would not do the angel cause of its size. With rock and sand hes not going to have much room. But other then that I think the royal, maroon, watchman, and sixline would work if you did water changes alot. The sixline and royal could fight though. And the RBTA thats up to you if you want to risk that much money of coral.

2 let alone 3 clams will out grow that size tank. I would do maybe one then trade it if it gets to big and I know there are smaller angels I just dont know the name of them

How big do maximas get anyways? I thought they stay small?
How big do Crocea clams get?

don't do margaritas, they do not live long in the home aquaria, because they are a more cool water species, and i have experience to comferm this. So just go with turbos or asteria snails. Croceas grow reallllllyyy slow when compared to other species like derasa's, but the maxima will grow at a faster pace than the crocea. But if you get the clams small they will take about 2-4 years to grow out of your tank, so really you are fine with the selection on clams. You have also selected a pretty good amount of nass. snails so you are good on that.
