    as far as goby or blennies, i would be kinda wary about putting them in the tank with aggressive or large fish. they can be kinda timid in that enviroment and not get enough to eat.

    firefish i probably really wouldn't get one. they are very slow and very timid. i think of them as basically bait.

    a wrasse may not be bad, since you have fowlr. you can pretty much get any of them i would recommend a larger one. i would go through saltwaterfish.com and look through there inventory to get a idea of the different ones. on the main fish page if you hover over the link pictures will pop up.

    a tang may be the best algae eater for your tank. but there might be some fish i missed its really been a long time since i worried about stocking a tank

    A my tank is too small for a full grown tang but I'll probably get a small blue or yellow tang and when it gets too big for my tank i'll trade it in at my LFS. Also, i'll probably get the yellow coris wrasse for the shrimp problem.
