![]() I'd like to add 1, maybe 2 more fish to my 120 gal reef tank. Current occupants are 3 clowns, 2 cardinals, 1 scopas tang and 1 mandarinfish. Tank has lots of softies and some SPS and 1 clam.
Lots of swimming room in the tank as it is not full top to bottom with live rock. Looking for some suggestions for a couple of fish that would really "light up" the tank or have that "wow" impression. |

![]() Tank has open top. Would like to have a purple firefish but have been advised against it due to its tendency to jump out of tanks.

![]() You were told right about the firefish. Wrasse's are the same.
My yellow tang is super bright and always out, but with there already being a scopas tang, there is the potential for fighting. A group of 4 female lyretail anthias are extremely colorfull, and one would likely turn into a male. They can jump, but are not known for being jumpers like wrasse's are. If you don't have any shrimp or intention of getting any, a flame or longnose hawkfish is something that is very different and could bring the wow factor you are looking for. Flames are very bright.

![]() I really like my one spot foxface. Very active, very docile towards all other fish and nobody messes with him.

![]() If you have a sand bed, convict blenny's are an option as well. People always comment on mine when they see my tank. They come out when I come around as they think I am going to feed them. You can get them singly, in pairs or groups. They are cheap, mild mannered, and very disease resistant. Very much like an eel, but not escape artists and don't eat fish/inverts. Here is a picture of a group of them.
