Another vote for a leopard wrasse. I have a potters wrasse which is pretty much the same thing. Not trying to hijack but those of you that have leopard wrasses, can you have more than one per tank?

I have 3. One Ornate Leopard Wrasse and 2 Blur Star Leopard Wrasse. The trick is, I believe to have all females. Hopefully one turns to a male and you get the variety.

I have a common leopard and an ornate one, in a 75g.

I think dragon faced pipes are fantastic watching fishes. As well as Midas Blennies.
I would avoid any pygmy fish, or coral crouchers. I've seen mine, about twice?!

My fish that covers the most real estate is the good old reliable yellow tang.

Well, I picked up a yellow tang for a great price locally. It sure made a huge difference in my tank. The tang swims all over the place picking at everything in sight and now all the other fish have started to follow his lead. The only one who refuses to budge is the foxface. The leopard wrasses look awsome as well. I called a couple of places and nobody had any in stock. I'll wait a couple of weeks and then try again for one after I see how my tank is handling the bioload. Thank you for all of the ideas, it was a big help!
