Default What are some really unique and colorful fish?
Hey guys just got my tank up and running, I have 2 black clowns in there and I'm looking to add fish over the next little bit!

I'm trying to find really cool reef safe fish that display great color or shape!
If they had some utility to them that be great too!

I have a 75 gal so keep that in mind
Thanks!!

One of my all time favorites is an Australian harlequin tusk fish. It's utility is to demolish your cuc. Lol although your tank is on the small side for one.

Also Flame angel is one of my personal favorite but you have 50/50 chance of it nipping on corals.

I like my Kole Tang and 6 Line Wrasse. Both are colorful and have tons of personality.

Six line wrasse gets pretty mean later on, if you have any peaceful fish in the community they are at risk. But that's not always true.
