Have decided that a flame angel is not the best move as I don't want to risk my corals and having seen them in other tanks, I think mine is probably a bit too small.

So, that leaves me back at square one.

Current stock:

Percula Clown
Six Line Wrasse
Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Several soft corals

Obviously any additions need to be reef safe and get on with the current inhabitants. Tank is 24G (+ 10G sump) and has a fairly high water turnover (~25x). All stats stable and current stock very healthy.

Was thinking about a shrimp / goby combo + 1 another.
 
Midas Blenny's are pretty neat, will probably be getting me one sometime.

My purple firefish is really cool and the orange/white of the clown goes really nice with the deep red/purple of the firefish.
 
try a bicolor blenny they dont swim around much, and they arent very colorful although mine seems to change colors , but they have really neat personalities, I love mine
 
I'd recomend a goby of some sorts (basically choose for colr) or maybe a goby/pistol shrimp pair. Good sand sifter and low level inhabitant.
 
After having one myself, I'd have to reccomend a Fairy Wrasse. Gorgeous fish, active, great personalities, I love my fairy wrasse. There are TONS of different types, so you'll have your work cut out deciding, but they're one of my favorite fish now :)
 
Ask and ye shall recieve :D

Yeah, he's gorgeous :D. Fiary wrasses can be anywhere from 30g to 50g reccomended tank volumes. My little guy looks to be very similar to a "flame" fairy wrasse and will likely only get to 3" in length (30g reccomended). Some like the redheaded or scott's fairy wrasse (which are kind of common) get up to 6" and require a 50g. Anyway you slice it, they're gorgeous fish, and once they get used to you , have a GREAT presonality. Little shy at first though ;)
 
Yeah, maybe, maybe not... If you get a different color morph you'd prolly be fine. I've seen lots of people with wrasse only tanks that have a lot of different color morphs living together.
