Only one fish going into the tank?

Yeah I just looked it up, and your right. They do prefer colder water, but you can get ones allcimated to reef temps.

I'm looking for a lower maintence tank, so I don't want many fish.

Try a small harem of royal grammas.

I heard you can acclimate a Catalina, but it will not have the same life span. An LFS here is now labeling them as such and runs a separate tank for them.

Good luck. Gramma is my vote!

You can acclimate them to warmer temps but at higher temps they usually will only live for a few months

I can't believe that on a forum full of experienced reefers that the most popular choice here is still nemo.

I have a yellow candy hogfish, he's a swimmer, out and about, colorful and not too big. I also have 2 sets of clownfish, I'm still new in the hobby, but honestly can not imagine a tank without.
