Default New fish question

Ok, my tang has been adopted by Lee and my 75g looks empty. I have a brazillian gramma, a mandarin and 3 small blennies and i'm looking for a pair or a small group of small fish, that swim out in the open, are bright and colourful, don't go carpet surfing and are reef safe. To make it worse I'm very picky, I don't want clowns, green chromis, or tangs. Any suggestions

Anthias. Beautiful fish and like to be kept in a group of 1 male and the rest females.

I don't think my tank is big enough for a proper group of anthias and, with all the feeding they require, I could end up with nutrient problems.
I've been reading all evening and can't come up with anything. Maybe i'll look into plastic fish

absolutely nothing . Lee has him/her in his new 180. My daughter needs braces, so there went all money the i had saved for a new tank, and the tang couldn't wait another year for a bigger home .

Some fish in the Cardinal family like little schools and groups. I'm not talking about the Banggai or Pajama ones either...
