Fish compatibility questions

[robhart60]

I'm stuck and need advice on fish choices, I'm looking to add my final fish to my 80g reef and was hoping to get a Coral Beauty Angelfish. But I have read that they tend to nip some corals and Inverts such as Clams? (I'd like to add a clam at some point in the future)
Also would it go with my other fish and inverts ok?

2x False Percs
1x Scarlet Hawkfish
1x Blue Cheeked Goby
1x Yellow Tang
4x Blue Chromis

1x Peppermint Shrimp
1x Cleaner Shrimp
1x BTA

Corals incude shrooms and button polyps (adding more slowly, starting easy)

2nd question I have is my Chromis have been bullying my clownfish (The smallest in particular) and I'm thinking of removing them and replacing them with a Comet (Betta). Again would this fish be ok with the fish etc above, inc Coral Beauty? I've read that they sometimes attack shrimps and small fish, how true is this?

I'm aware that these fish require an established tank, its been set-up for 12 months now and is very stable.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

As far as the Angel fish is concerned, there is a chance that he will nip at the clam. In my case, I have a Flame Angel that loves to nip at the clams. As a result, I have not added any more clams to my 90 gallon. IMO, Coral Beauty would be ok with the rest of your group.

angel will most likely eat corals, thats why their colors are amazining, they feed on corals.

chromis bugging clowns? that table should turn soon.

hawkfish may be a nightmare. every so often theres one on my local reef club...."free to good home....will attack everything....."

Ok thanks. I think i'll get a Coral Beauty soon then. I'll wait and see what happens about the Chromis and Clownfish, ATM the Clownfish have some growing to do so maybe the bullying will stop then?

As for the Hawkfish, he's normally well behaved. He used to attack randomly until I added a Yellow Tang then he just stopped.

Cheers

The dwarf angels are gorgeous but just to unpredictable for me. I had one for almost 2 years and then he started nipping on my corals. It took quite a while until I figured out what was happening to them.
How about a colorful blenney instead. Lots of color and lots of movement.

here is a basic chart for fish compatibility, it wont say what to add when, you will have to research that. if you click on the blue part above the chart it will take you to the main web, you can do some research there for feeding, live shrimp, etc
