I agree, hold off on the Anthias till you have the space they really need. You should have no difficulty with a Coral Beauty though, just give the tank some time to mature. 6-Lines are beautiful and produce little waste. Basselets or a Royal Gramma could be a good choice too. One of the most overlooked fish out there is the blue/green chromis. A small shoal will turn your tank into a slice of ocean in an instant, & they're easy to keep. It doesn't have to be $$$ fish to be spectacular. Set yourself up for sucess, there is no reason why a 65 gal can't be a showtank you'll be proud of.
