seeking recommendations

I've got a 55-gallon tank with 57 pounds of liverock, which is home to three hermit crabs, a bunch of snails, a pink tip anemone that came on the live rock, a sand sifter goby, a tomato clown fish, a sixline wrasse, some orange coflake polyps, and purple star polyps. I'm looking to add some more fish that are pretty chill and non-aggressive - any suggestions would be great.

Banggai cardinal could be a good choice, they're generally pretty peaceful and small.

[terrac]

yeah, those are definitely on my list, any other peaceful fish you'd recommend? i've got plenty of space in my tank, so i'm open to suggestions

Watch out for territorial issues with the sixline wrasse. Consider a dwarf angel, they're pretty chill.

I saw some orchid dottybacks at my LFS recently - they're only around for a short time, usually.

I'd love to get one, but I've never come across an orchid dottyback in a US shop.

yellow tang, firtideflow, or a goby/shrimp pair could work well in your tank.

oops did i forget to post firtideflow . id love to get a shrimp/goby pair but how do i do it - buy them separate or together as a pair?

[otter9]

either way, buying a true pair is gonna cost more

I'm concerned a yellow tang would outgrow my 55 gallon tank, aren't they known to get pretty big?
