A dwarf angel... there are many to choose from from various colors.

Although I never understood "show fish" or "centerpiece fish" in saltwater... almost all saltwater fish are show fish as most are much more colorful then freshwater fish.

Flame angels are beautiful.

For me, I find the show piece is often either the rarest, largest or the most eye catching to another hobbyist.
I agree with Dwarf Angel, if I had to specify a certain one it would definitely be C. shepardi or C. multicolor.

I also recommend looking into Cyprinocirrhites polyactis as they are a beautiful species of hawkfish.

3 Clownfish, 6 line wrasse, pintail wrasse, 2 cardinals bangeye and a pajama. No color just fish and clean up crew.

Just as a thought, what kind of clowns do you have 3 of?

Honestly, I would remove either the Sixline or the Pintail.
This is due to in the longrun you will most likely have the sixline become a murderer to any other wrasses.

No ma am pretty good with clown fish names but I got those two from Petco. And a ocolaris.

I plan on Setting up a 20 gallon mixed reef could I put ether of the in there.

Sorry for calling you ma am. And not exactly I have one and the two in the picture I don’t k ow what the two in the picture are.

Its generally not advisable long term to have 3 ocel clowns. Im not saying it cannot be done. But if two pair up, which they eventually will. they will kill the third one.

Might consider a Coral Beauty or similar size Dwarf Angel as others mentioned if everything else in the tank. Be aware the Flame will be especially difficult to remove if you change your mind. Also note that this fish will be likely be the apex creature of the tank, so it will need to be added last.
