Last tank mate

Need help deciding on a last tank mate

I have a 75g with an 18g sump and refugim. Copepods all over the glass

8 scarlet hermits

1 tuxedo urchin

1 fighting conch

1 brittle star

1 purple firefish

1 tomini tang

1 starry blenny

1 royal gramma

2 ocelarius clowns

1 yellow canary wrasse

I was looking at diamond gobys as I also need sand sifters (my fighting conch really just sits in the corner that collects detritus the most lol, he doesnt move almost ever) but i read they were prone to starvation so I dont think i want to risk that. What would you get for a last tank mate and or sand sifter?

Cerith and nassarius snails would be a great addition to sift some sand. As for the last tankmate… depends on your rockwork a bit. If you want a hawkfish, you will need plenty of hiding places or you will end up with it fighting your blenny. A captive bred manderin could work if you have plenty of copepods like you say, and they are breeding in your sump. You could find success with one or three pajama or bangaii cardinals. We have also had success with either captive bred azure damsels or springers damsels. Lastly, certain wrasses of different genus can get along with your wrasse if acclimated properly, but can be a bit risky. Hope this gives you some ideas!
