I'm looking for an active swimmer for a 46gallon bowfront...looks like my tank is bare...it looks like I only have 1 fish swimming around and a shrimp. This will be my last fish so I want a good one! Preferably something mid size...I was thinking flame angel but they nip coral...

The twist...
-can't nip coral
-can't bother CUC
-I don't want to cover the top of my tank
-I don't want to feed more than once a day

What I have already
-Snowflake clown pair (swim around my overflow)
-cardinal (hovers in the front but wife wanted one)
-yellowtail damsel (active swimmer and not aggressive)

CUC
-cleaner shrimp
-4 Nass snails
-2 trochus snails
-1 red legged hermit crab

Coral
Softies and lps
 
Potters angel i have doesn't nip corals but it's a gamble.

I always suggest Leopard wrasse for these types of tanks. It's kind of a center piece fish imo. Completely safe.
 
The only problem with wrasse aren't they jumpers?
 
I was looking into leopard wrasse they seem difficult to care for...even live aquaria rates it for experts only...not quiet there yet! But the potters angel is a beauty! But then again I'd rather go with a flame if I want to gamble...
 
I had one for years, unfortunately I lost it during the upgrade to my 220, rock fell on it.

Never jumped
 
Sorry for your loss, thanks for the reply! Love the midas blenny...will do some more research on them...thanks
