I currently have 2x20gallon tanks that I am about to combine into a 30g long. I have a Valentini Puffer, a Cryptic Sixline Wrasse, and a Golden Wrasse that will live in this tank. I would like to add one more fish and am looking for suggestions. The tank does have mushroom corals, so I have to be careful as to what fish I add.

Here's what I am thinking about:
-Flame Hawk or Longnose Hawk
-Coral Beauty or Pygmy Angel
-Another peaceful Wrasse (possum, sixline, or resplendant)
-Bicolor Blenny

Any suggestions or concerns are appreciated!

ps-I was also wondering if a Valentini Puffer would get along with a Spotted Puffer in a tank this size? These fish have the best personalities, and I would love to have a Spotted Puffer along with my Valentini

Two Canthigaster Puffers (Valentini and Spotted) will NOT coexist in any tanks except HUGE ones and even then sometimes they still fight. I wouldn't add another wrasse as you already have 2. My vote would be for the Blenny as the others will get a bit large for a 30g. Just my opinion. Hope this helps and good luck!

I have searched through species information more and am starting to lean more towards a Basslet, either a Harlequin or Macneil's. Does anyone think that either of these would be a good match?

Either would work. I like the Macneil's, they are fascinating to watch. They will swim upside down in caves and their solid blue color is just gorgeous. The Harlequin spends the majority of the time on the ground and hiding, they don't spend too much time in open water. Hope this helps and good luck!

I would get a LemonPeel Angel, they are beautiful Bright yellow with blue circles around eyes!

Right Now: I do like the dwarf angels, and I think that the Lemonpeel is beautiful, but I just don't think it's right for this tank.

Mono: I was wondering about how shy the basslets might be, so maybe this isn't the right choice. I've always liked hawk fish (longnose and flame), so maybe I'll go that direction.
