    Is it a reef or FOWLR?

    Spotted bristletooth tang, flame angel, bluehead wrasse, sixline wrasse, mandarin (not now, but maybe save a spot in the bioload for one), fuzzy dwarf lion, and blue gudgeon dartfish are a few that come to mind.

    It will eat what fits in its mouth. Not sure if hermits are on that list and I know snails aren't. Fuzzys don't get too big anyways though so I think it would be ok with larger shrimp etc. No experience though.

    If you have a decent amount to spend on a relatively easy fish, a Blue Spotted Jawfish is a great idea. They are a centerpiece to any tank and have very comical personalities. To counter act burrowing behaviors is easy, take a curved tube that is plastic and put an end cap on it and bury it in the sand and put rocks along the opening of it and it should take to it.

    I love my one spot foxface. It will absolutely destroy any algae you may have and is a very active swimmer. It will also not be bullied by your established damsels(clowns are part of the damsel family).

    I have read that flasher wrasses need to be added first into an aquarium as they tend to be shy. The male flasher I have is very timid and afraid of his shadow most of the time.
