Center piece fish.

[Theulli]

So I have a reefer xl200. Have a few fish in it and I think I really only have room for one more fish. I was talking to my lfs owner and suggested since I have a smallish tank and won’t have much more space that I should get a show piece fish. He suggested Swiss guard basslet. That’s a lot of $$$ but will probably be my last fish that goes in.
Does anyone have a suggestion. I don’t mind paying more if it’s an awesome fish.

Just a note if you are thinking of the swissguard for a centerpiece, I have heard that they are kind of cryptic. Never owned one myself, but if I'm shelling out $200 for a centerpiece, I want one that's out and about.

If it's color you're after, I've heard Weitei are some of the best anthias for a non-massive tank: https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/3256/?pcatid=3256. I'm on the stock alerts and they've come in a couple of times recently. There are some flasher wrasses out there too that have a great combo of coloration and cool fins.

I would add another Yasha goby to make a pair. You can easily sex Yasha Goby.
Then you can consider one of these fishes: Radiant Wrasse, or a Leopard Wrasse, Flame Angel or Flameback angel. IMO, ONE of any of these fishes will do fine in a 50 gal tank.

Also I do love my yasha. He/she looks amazing when he/she comes out to eat. But that’s really the only time I see it. I have a pretty new tank ao the yasha is a little less shy now. One of my all time favourite gobies and not the most common one too.

Very out going fish. Some of the fish I listed above are harder to get establish than other. Please research on them well before you get them. Of course this goes for any animal you get.
Leopard wrasse are Protogynous hermaphodites. Some people said that they do not reliably change sex but I don’t find this to be the case in my tank. I have a harem of Meleagris in my tank but your tank is too small for a harem.

IMO, Potter angel get too large for 50 gal tank. Even Flame angel is a little pushing it. Flameback or one of the other Pygmy angels are better for a small tank like your’s
