Is it going to be a reef? If yes, what type of corals?

For a 50g reef, I like Bangaii cardinals, leopard wrasses (if eating in the store), Kole or Tomini tang, obligatory clown fish, cherub angel, yellow watchman goby, canary wrasse. Fairy & Flasher wrasses will chase each other if males (and males are more colourful for some species) and are notorious carpet surfers (making completely covered tank a necessity).

Less reef-safe (i.e. coral &/or shrimp/hermit-safe) are lemon peel, Eblii or flame angel (whichever one he likes best), flame hawk, long-nose hawk, Marine betta.

Kole tang in a 50? My Kole has outgrown my 90. Not sure about the Bangaiis either. I tried to pick a male and female a few times and constantly ended up with last fish standing.
Thumbs up on the cherub. They are pretty little fish and mine leaves the clams and coral alone. He gets harrassed a bit by the flame but nothing he can't handle.
How about a neon goby?

Blue Assessor
Yellow Assessor
Royal Gramma
2 x Clownfish

This will make a nice, peaceful tank...especially once the clowns are established, though I would add them in the order they are posted.
