Yeah thats a nice fish!
Im starting to think I might just go with a few more firefish and leave it at that instead of messing with the peacefulness. They are not all that active but they do swim around and with a few more maybe it would feel more active. Or otherwise the Flame hawk is also at the top of the list right now

Hmm... I thought the Purple Firefish was one of those 'single or pairs' sort of fish. If you could keep a group of them, that would be awesome... they are beautiful fish (I love mine) and would be gorgeous as a group.

Not sure but my friend has 2 purples and 2 oranges together in a 60G no problem and I have seen large groups in bigger tanks before.
I have no idea though. Mine are both about 2"-2.5" and get along great. But then again its only 2 of them. In any case I doubt I will end up with more. I have a feeling its either a flame hawk or a flame angel (but I worry about aggression with this one). Anyone have any experiences to share about their Cherub Angels? My friends is great and very peaceful...is this normal? Would be a great angel since its max size is 3". Not much different from the Flame at 4" I guess.

I'm 90% sure that as long as they are added simultaneously and aren't too close in size you won't see much aggression beyond establishing a pecking order.
You might be able to get away with reaquascaping your tank and adding a couple new firefish then though... Or buy try adding some that are much larger than the ones you have in there already as this seems to make established fish less likely to get their hate on for the new guy... I can only speak from my specific experience with paired/shoals of fish and what I've read about firefish.

In any case, I am now on the look out for a Cherub Angel and I think that will be the fish. Not really the brightest fish but I really want an angel and they are about the smallest I have found and also seem to be one of the most reef safe.

Nice to know about the firefish, I'll consider getting a few more later on then
 One out of three people I have talked to that had Cherubs have said theirs were demons, like killing other fish aggressive. One was just normally aggressive (like my firefish towards my goby, nothing serious), and the other was a sweetheart... so I guess it just depends on the fish and the tank. The super aggressive one was in a 30 gallon and was already established, the others were in larger tanks and added after other fishes. I like them though, they're pretty fish (and the size is perfect).

The other option is to just leave the tank as is  because Im not kidding, I have yet to see any aggression what so ever other than the jawfish trying to eat fish that come near his cave  errrrrr...or maybe he is just defending it

When I was asking about adding 4 grammas to the same tank, people treated me like an idiot.
I got so turned around with misinformation; like being told that grammas are hermaphroditic for example when thats simply not the case... At least with a smaller tank, if a new addition does go aggressive it's a lot easier to remove the aggressor than in a larger tank full of LR. IMO though, add a gramma or an assessor and you will still have 0 aggression. Always seems to be another tough decision around the corner in this hobby.
