Currently, fish wise, I have a Midas Blenny and An Ocillaris Clown in my tank. The main focus of my tank is going to be corals and inverts but I thought I might like to add maybe 3 more very peaceful compatible fish. I definately don't want anything that would damage my corals, anenomes, or other inverts. Just some nice fish to add some more activity to the tank. I was hoping I could get some suggestions and maybe some details about some fish meeting these requirements.
Thanks for the help,
Doug
 
Well, green chromis damsels are peaceful, and they school. Just dont add anymore clownfish. You might get away with an ocellaris, but any other type will surely cause a territorial battle between the 2. Peteducation.com has a fish compatibility chart. Stay away from triggerfish too. Certain tangs are ok, gobies, dragonettes. Nothing's worse than watching your nice expensive fish kill each other.
 
A few fish that would work in my opinion.

Royal gramma

Citron Goby

Green Clown Goby

Starry Blenny

Raiford's Goby

Yellow Clown Goby

Neon Goby

Any Hi-Fin Goby

Any of the Firefish - Clown may be too aggressive, but it depends on the two fish.

Almost any Cardinalfish

Blennys are pretty peaceful, as long as they have plenty of room to hide. I have a Bi-Color Blenny in with a Percula Clown and a Purple Firefish. They never bother each other (they seem quite indifferent to one another, actually.) They swim around each other...occasionally brush up against one another, but have had no problems thus far. You wouldnt have a problem with the Clown, unless you got an ill-tempered Blenny.
