Wrasses, very nice fish... things like Mystery, McCloskers are very beautiful and are show pieces.

Clown fish, I have a maroon clown, nicer than the normal NEMO style

RabbitFish, I have a 2 barred, very cool and safe on coral... Be careful though they are venomous... I also have a Fox face, in the same family as the 2 barred

Anthias, I have a square back, very cool purple, pinks, yellows and orange... will grow to about 6 inches or so, but hangs out in the upper area of the water column

Cardinals - Pyjamas or Bangaii's, I have both and even got the 2 bangaiis I have breeding.

Dwarf Angels - I will recommend them with a warning. All angels can nip at coral. I have a SPS dominate tank and have been lucky. I love the Flame and Potters Angel, very eye catching

I hope these help
Cool... Thanks so much for the advice.

I seen something at MY LFS.. i am not sure what is was. It looks like an Achilles Tang but it its body is mostly gray and has some yellow and black coloring as well. not the best description but any idea on what it might be?

Not sure without seeing a pic, but does it look like this?



If so, then it is a Naso Tang, or a Blonde Naso... This fish is too big for your tank.

Yeah, too bad... This is a very beautiful fish. I have a Blonde Naso, he is only about 4-5 inches, but wow he is beautiful.

I have a Blonde Naso in my 75 and will be moving him to my 125 in the Spring. a 125 is a 6' tank, so it's fine.
