as stated above all i have:

puprle tang 2"-3"
naso tang 2"-3" (juvenile think its a blonde)
yellowtail blue tamsel (might re-home as long as not going to become food)

not sure where or how to begin. running a mixed reef have leathers shrooms zoas lps sps little bit of everything. what im looking for is a very diverse and active reef: please tell me what can and will work and what you have had succes with.

so my prelim list looks like this:

3-4 tangs id like to add 1 or 2 small tangs-acanthurus japonicas and a Ctenochaetus type (don't think this is possible tho due to aggression and space even if juvenile but one can dream)-dont worry tang police i would re-home them as soon as they got even close to outgrowing my tanks as i did with my hippo and yellow tang.

1-2 dwarf angels(coral beauty lemon flame pigmy? what have you had succes with?how many which?)

pair of clowns- had a single gold bar maroon(hence my username)also like picasso, snowflakes, and orange blood

yellow watchman(can i get another type of bottom goby like a tiger wardii or will they fight?)

royal gramma or yellow assesor(can i have more than one long term or mix the two?)

2 purple firefish(is more than one do-able? is odd numbers or more better?

2 ruby red dragonets(i'm aware of dietary needs had a pair for 6 months before my meltdown)

a group of anthias(think i like the lyretail? the orange ones with the purple line near the eye? how many 4/5?)-guessing would need an auto feeder to feed several times daily?

bunch of assorted clown gobies-like the citron warpaint and pandas(how many of each different kind? how many total? which ones do you suggest?)

ok everyone please dont beat me up kinda a newb only been doing this 2 years please tell me what you all think. what would you do? what order would you begin?

looking to purchase some of the above fish in the near future(about 2 weeks) if anyone has any of these fish healthy and reasonably priced let me know.

Dwarf angels can be hit and miss with corals, particularly zoas and fleshy LPS, of your list I would rank their reef safeness as; flame, coral beauty, pygmy, and lemon.

A pr of clowns will be fine.

A yellow watchman and tiger wardi will coexist.

A yellow assessor and royal gramma will be fine together as well.

A pr of purple firefish will work too, if you are able to get a pr, as they are difficult to sex and do not tolerate consexuals. If you get more ten 2, in relatively short order you will be down to just 2.

The pr of dragonets should be fine in your size tank as well.

The orange lyretails are females, in a group the dominant will transition to male. Anthias generally do best in larger numbers, but lyretails are pretty easy.

You can also get a half dozen of each species of clown goby you may be interested. They are a little territorial with each other, but because of their small size their territories are small too.
