I like my Kole Tang and 6 Line Wrasse. Both are colorful and have tons of personality.

Six line wrasse gets pretty mean later on, if you have any peaceful fish in the community they are at risk. But that's not always true.

my vote is for wrasses , carpenters or fairy wrasses , ive been seeing more pencil wrasses lately and there nice too . If you can find any leopard , ornate,or potters wrasse that are eating frozen i would jump on one of them as well . The bonus is all these types are reef safe and most will get along fine with each other or any other fish.

Kole tang is awesome. I just bought a solar fairy wrasse and the colors are incredible as well. Fairy and flasher wrasses are definitely a place to look, and foxfaces if they keep their coloration

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
