Choosing the right nem

Eventually (not any time soon) I was thinking about getting a nem. However, I want to make sure that I choose the right one. I have T5 lighting and a 72 gal. Please let me know what your suggestions are so I can start researching.

Thanks

Re: Choosing the right nem

It is the high output T5, turns on at 8:30 am and off at 9:30 pm and then the moon lights are on for the rest of the night. The tank has two power heads both at 850 gph and the filter is 350 gph. The tank has been established for about 5 years. About 4-5 months ago I slowly started getting into the reef setup, so im trying to learn as much as I can about it. I have read about nems on here and im kinda on the fence about whether to get one or not.

I currently have a yellow tang, a hippo tang, two clowns, a chocolate chip star fish, margarine goby, and a coral banded shrimp. There is also a couple mushrooms and some polyps.
