I have five fish in my 33 gallon tank - there are about 75 pounds of live rock in the tank and I have a 30 gallon sump and skimmer set-up.

There are two clowns who play among two rose bulbtip anemones - there is one yellow tang, one purple firefish and one sixline wrasse. I'd like one more fish - maybe something unique - but the fish being added can't compete with the sixline wrasse for food ( so, it shouldn't be shaped like, nor have a mouth similar to nor be about the same size as the two inch wrasse). I do not want a fish that will nibble on the corals or munch on the crustaceans (shrimp).

Any suggestions?

Fishy!

The tang is fine as long as u r feeding it algae, and I would not put a sand bomber goby in your tank that is so full of corals, but blennie would b harmless, Mandrians r nice. I also do not understand the about food competition with your wrasse, my 6 line only eats the food i feed i have never seen him go after anything else in the tank, supposedly they bristle worms but then again i have never seen one of them in my tank either. So once again I would say a blennie of almost anytype, Some of them r very small like your firefish, some r larger like the lawnmower blenny.

Chromis r always nice as well, they add lots of movement to your tank are non-aggresive and reef safe.

I've thought Chromis, but the other fish I have are pretty basic already,so I was thinking of something more unique ... like a sea dragon or something!! Well maybe something unique but not endangered.

The six line wrasse just seems pretty aggressive, so I thought a similar fish might have a hard time of it with the wrasse I have.

ALERT! I'm not sure wrasses eat bristleworms - I have two bristleworms in my tank ( just 33 gallons) and one just came out now becaue he must be really hungry - he is about eleven inches long! I'm sure that bristleworm was only six inches long when the saltwater tour came here in September. This is a grey bristleworm, so it's not a dangerous red or brown one. I haven't seen the bristleworm so active before. The wrasse doesn't even notice the worm.

Who would you say I should add? Who would you say I should take out!? The bristleworm?
