Stocking a 55 gallon reef

Blue reef chromis?
Blackcap basslet?
Maybe check out the reef safe wrasses? Maybe a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse?

Also I think even if it looks like you have lots of pods unless you get the mandarin onto prepared foods you may find it will eventually starve in a 55 gallon. Otherwise if you have a large refugium that might work too.

 

Coral Beauty
Flame Angel

If you want to keep these 2 in the same tank 55 and greater do so with caution. Doesn't really matter tank size, they both, as all pygmie angels, love to roam and explore the entire tank. They will find each other quickly and square up to each other, and one will end up taking alternative passages, but eventually they be indifferent to each other and swim harmonously around each other.

Make sure you have A LOT of passages in your live rock work and that the Coral Beauty is slightly larger than the Flame. I have kept them both in same tank on 2 seperate occassions, but anything other than this has usually ended in fatality. The Flame is more aggressive toward the Coral Beauty ( almost on a mission ), but if the Coral Beauty is too much larger than the Flame, it will end up killing it.

just my experience with them
