A colorful fish for a 55?

[traco]

I've currently got two black perculas in my 55 gallon. Will be setting up a 15 gallon sump once I get an overflow unit and have some live rock in it (have about 30 lbs of live rock so far) and am running a Deltec 300 for a skimmer which will be going in the sump also.

I may have some rics and zoas if I can find some colorful ones.

Coral Beauty is a nice fish, or a Flame Angel, although I have found the Flames to be a bit finicky..They dont get too big as well...

A Mandarine Goby for sure if you have pods and a Royal Gramma. Oh and a Fairy Wrasse is nice, really nice. NOt sure if they all get along but they are all beautiful.

+1 on the coral beauty, they aren't always 100% reef safe but are often more so than other angels. I like my CB a lot, he has fabulous colours. (blue, purple, orange, yellow and pink)

agreed with "my2rotties" Mandarine Gobie would be the best bet, but if youre loaded then you can go for a pair of Helfrich's Firefish Goby. or if you like angel I would go for a small regal angel(not recomended for under 90gal).

Well, if I can sell one of my tanks, I'm hoping to get a drilled 75 gallon (thanks Shelley ... lol). And now know I'll be getting some zoas and rics for sure so that changes what can go in the tank, I'm thinking?

I wouldn't have a mandarin, tank is too new, no pods. They are a beautiful fish but not fair to put into my tank.

A rusty angel is pretty too, just be patient when looking for one...it took a bit but I found a beauty for my 27g at work. How about a nice shrimp/goby combo as well...
