Based on what we like, compatibility, native origin, non-aggressiveness:
1 Yellow-eyed kole Tang
1 Firefish (Schooling? Read some conflicting info online)
1 Lawnmower (Sailfin/Algae) Blenny
2 Ocellaris Clownfish, Captive-Bred
1 Blue/Green Reef Chromis
1 Royal Gamma Basslet or 1 Bicolor Dottyback
3 Banggai Cardinal Fish

Live Rock (50% Premium, 25% 1 year, 25% dry for foundation) (Curing? Quarantine? Still very unsure how this gets in)
Do we need to worry about unwanted pests coming from live rock?
If so, how do we get rid of them or ensure prevention without losing the good?
