harlequin filefish is nice but hard to keep alive with its demanding sps as a food source and not common at your local fish store. pellet weened ones seem only available in the USA.

Good choice

I'd say anthias. Some are more challenging than others but they certainly add a huge splash of colour to your tank.

Flame hawkfish will eat your CUC(shrimp, crabs, etc.).

With regards to wrasse's and firefish, they are jumpers. Make sure you have a closed top if you are considering getting one.

With regards to leopard, ornate,or potters wrasse's, it is a good idea to have sand as they hide in it when they feel scared. They are some of the most beautiful fish, but make sure they are eating frozen before buying it from the pet store.

I have one in my tank. He leaves hermit crabs alone and I don't think he's found the evil little hitch hiker crab hidden in my rocks, but I've refrained from adding any shrimp because of him. I've read that if its a larger shrimp they might be ok, but I don't want to take the risk

if they are fed well they don't bother corals, and haven't lost a shrimp to the bigh on in our display tank.

one of the coolest I found, was a "Flashing" tile fish.

Had a few, and you can watch them change colors in fromt of your eyes
