A fire fish is good or a yellow clown goby.  They are small and fun to watch.

My captive bred orchid dottyback is very brightly colored and doesn't bother anything.

I have never had a Dottyback.  I will need to look into them.  

 

Any coral suggestions from anyone?

I'd hold off on adding any more corals. In another 12-18 months when those SPS, candycanes, kenya tree and frogspawns have left the 'frag' stage and are healthy, growing colonies, I promise you will be glad you didn't put any more in there ... When those particular corals get a little bigger and start to really kick into growth mode, they're going to start vying for space pretty quick and you're likely going to have a little coral combat taking place.

Thanks,  That is a good point.  I'll probably just stick to a few interesting zoa's to fill in some areas the LPS are not in.

With clowns and a damsel, a firefish may not fair well. It's a very passive/skittish fish and the other 2 aren't.

 

I'd consider a fish that can hold it's own. An orchids dotty can.

I ended up getting a purple dottyback on Sunday.  Cool looking fish.  I am slightly concerned that he just hides in a cave and when I put food in the tank he doesn't come out.  I know it is normal for new fish to hide so hopefully he starts coming around in the next day.

Give it time. Most fish are stressed and just need to get comfy in their new home.

 

It's taken my blenny 2 weeks to come out more freely.

thanks, he started peaking out of his hole tonight, I haven't seen it eat but my hunch is that it is getting some pods or other things that run around at night.
