I would have one "showcase" fish and a bunch of smaller fish.
I love wrasses (leopards, flashers, & fairy wrasses) but prefer a covered tank since these can be jumpers.
Leopard wrasses are also harder to keep so probably go with flasher & fairy wrasses.
Also found Yellow/Canary wrasses to be bright, active and peaceful.
I also like Bangaii cardinals although these are not as active as wrasses.
I love Cherub angels (completely reef-safe in my experience but with great personalities and bright royal blue with yellow face).
For damsels, I like yellow-tail blue damsels and Fusilier damsels.
For clownfish (type of damsel), the most commonly kept are Ocellaris and True Percula - i.e. the ones that look like Nemo. Now they have blacks and other fancier varieties. Do a search and find out what kind you like if you plan to have clowns. Cinnamon, Tomato & Maroons are bigger and more aggressive species.
