Awesome unique fish to add to a 65 gallon

[badstorm48]

As the title says I'm looking for a awesome unique fish to add to my 65 gallon reef tank. I'm not looking for any wrasses as I have two already. I just want something that when people look at it go wow that's a cool fish. Any ideas? Just has to be for the most part reef safe. I'm okay with taking chances as long as they are more favorable to being reef safe.

This is probably not the answer you're looking for but.. unless your guest have a saltwater tank or visit others that do (saltwater isn't at all common in my town) my guess is most all things are going to be unique to them. When I first saw saltwater tanks my eyes were fixed on the corals anyways ;p

But if you want a unique fish to other saltwater aquarist then that would be a different story. I haven't look at a lot of fish.. haven't set my 58gallon up yet. =/

Also have a 65 gallon and would like some ideas. Currently only have a pair of clowns, yellow watchman and shrimp , midas blenny and 1 blue chromis.

What fish do you already have? I've always been an advocator for predators in a reef. A fuzzy dwarf lion or snowflake eel would be cool, but it would depend on what's already in the tank.

I think the Royal Gramma is very unique. Clownfish can be unique also.

You said no wrasses, but I adore the little tiny sixline at petco. One of my favorite fish

Purple tilefish, jawfish, longnose hawkfish, and starry blenny always seem to get a lot of attention from uninitiated visitors.

I just finished the upgrade to my 65. I have a little vlamingi tang which is amazing one of my favorite fish only like 2.5 in right now, Christmas wrasse, ocellaris, mystery wrasse and a tribal blenny

Yasha shrimp goby and pistol shrimp pair.

Don't know how much risk you're up for, but flame angels are supposed to be about 80% reef-safe . . . and there's a reason they're represented on so many jigsaw puzzles. That's a fish your guests will spot from across the room.

My favorite smallish tank fish would be a tailspot blenny, they are a must have for me, and what they lack in size they make up for in personality and they look really cool, and usually not shy, often they will watch you as much as you watch them, and small or not, my friends notice them, even my non reefkeeper friends.

Go for a Golden Dwarf Moray or Geometric Moray. The GDM will max out at about 12-14" with the Geometric getting a bit larger. They will be safe with most fish, except really small ones, and larger inverts.
