Default Help Stock my 30 gallon

I have a 30 gallon Biocube and I have already put up a 110 gallon reef tank.. 6 years ago... so I am not new to SW but I am new to a small aquarium which is alot diff. since I only have had like 6 fish in my 110 at once.. so I was never really limited when it came to fish.. now being in a 30 gallon... I just want to make a good aquarium. The biocube has reef lighting.. I am going to do LR.. and so far I was thinking... 2 clowns, 2 green chromis, a goby, and a lemon peel angel. What do you think? and I would really like some suggestions. I will have some coral but not alot..

Angels are not considered reef safe. They are a hit or miss fish. Some will nibble at your coral, some will eat the coral, and others will not even touch them. I don't bother will then just because I don't want to take the risk. Lots of people do keep angels in their reefs, but you have ti understand it's a risk everytime. Hope that helps

You could go for a Yellow Clown Goby they are Completely bright yellow. Watchmen Gobies are Yellow with green spots. Royal Grammas are half purple and half yellow. Just a few of the many that are out there.

I would go with gobys no angels. A nice blenny couple of clowns...Most angels need a large tank becuase they get BIG.
