I am looking to add a couple more fish to my 120. I currently have a scopas tang, foxface, pair of occelaris, yellow watchman, rainfords goby, cherub angel, and a mandarin. I also have a blood shrimp and some cleaners, as well as snails and hermits. I would like to add an orchid dottyback and a bicolor blenny. Any other suggestions?
It needs to be reef safe. Thanks for any advice.

Fairy or flasher wrasses

A purple tang or some sort of surgeon fish would be a nice addition in my opinion

A purple tang wouldn't fight with the scopas? Could I add another dwarf angel?

Cherubs are pretty mean as far as Centropyge angels go. You might want to visually acclimate any new ones for a few weeks first.

i'm with emoore. i think every tank needs at least one wrasse.

Definitely no to the purple tang. I don't know about adding another pgymy either. My brother added a flame angel to his 125g (6ft) that had a cherub in it. The cherub fought the flame until the flame died, and the next day the cherub died from battle wounds. I'd go with a wrasse as well, great fish.

Will a fairy or flasher wrasse compete with the mandarin for pods?

No, there would be no competition. However, keeping them in the tank requires a closed tank or a cover with 1/4 inch holes or less (NOT egg crate)
