How long has your tank been up? The reason I'm asking is that I see a few small patches of what could be cyano. Not a big deal , part of the process of tank maturation so don't freak out if it spreads for a while.

You might want to keep an eye on your Ca levels as I also noticed some coralline algae growth. (3rd pic to the left and below the blenny.)

I like the way you've arranged the rock and would suggest some of the lower-light corals if you're so inclined. I have a 20 high with 130 watt PCs and keep several varieties of mushrooms, ricordea, zoos, candy canes, etc. Research your Coral Beauty's appetite before adding too much.
