saltwater tank mates?
i have a 55 gallon tank with 30 pounds of live rock. i just got it going about 3 weeks ago and am starting to think about what i am going to stock it with. i laready have a percula clown and a bubble tip anemone. i am going to get 4-5 chromis. i was also thinking about anthias but i dont want them to kill each other as they age and was questioning there feeding habits. i want to get a lawnmower blenny also. i was also thinking about a hairy sea hare but i need to do some more research on them. i also think my tank is too small for a yellow tang. so basically i am at 2 percula clowns, i bubble tip anemone, 4-5 chromis and a lawnmower blenny and 1 firefish. i am looking for a nice small peaceful schooling fish to put in there that will do no harm to my setup. any suggestions?

Don’t add anymore. You want to know huh? It’s because it is already overstocking. Actually, that is too much, because saltwater fish needs VERY BIG spaces to live in.

i think u should stick with wat u got ;0
Your tank is presently a little full for how young it is. The more mature a tank is the more it can support. Anthias need 4-5 feedings a day which is NOT something you should do with a new tank. They also need a mature tank so that there is lots of smaller life for them to feed on between feedings.
In a couple of months you can add more fish if you like. Look into blennies and or gobies, when you start to see some growth on the rock, you can look into pygmy angels as well.
without the yellow tang you can look into your chromis there really isnt any other schooling species that are peaceful.
