If you have a sand bed, convict blenny's are an option as well. People always comment on mine when they see my tank. They come out when I come around as they think I am going to feed them. You can get them singly, in pairs or groups. They are cheap, mild mannered, and very disease resistant. Very much like an eel, but not escape artists and don't eat fish/inverts. Here is a picture of a group of them.

Australian harlequin tuskfish if you dont mind losing your shrimp, crabs and possibly snails. Mine is the most beautiful fish I have ever seen.

Thread's a little old, but my absolute favourite fish is my starry/snowflake blenny. Wicked personality and colour. (And the 'eyebrow' tufts are awesome.)

I added one of these a little while back and and surprised at how much it is out and swimming around. They are very interesting looking and have a nice behavior.

A flame hawkfish has now been added to the tank and I really like watching its behaviour. Unfortunately both accessors I ordered from Ontario arrived DOA. The first was yellow and I received a full credit and then I tried a blue. It did not survive the shipping.
I do have some lyretail anthias (3 females/1male) being quarantined in Edmonton which I hope to receive shortly.
I have an $85 credit with SeaUMarine to use and I'm stumped on what I could add to the livestock to use the credit.
Any suggestions? Tank is well stocked with coral so I was thinking of fish.
