I am at that point where I am down to my last few fish. (Next on to adding corals!) I really want to be very selective my last additions so please chime in. I have a 300 gallon reef tank with some LPS (Gonipora, Hammers, Lobo, Octospawn). My current group of fish are peaceful The male Bartlett & female Bartlett can be a little frisky to new additions but usually settle down. I want to keep the tank peaceful.
I don't mind spending a little more on a special fish or two - I've been saving towards this. But I want the last additions to have:
Vibrant color or
Personality or
An Unusual 'Look'
Examples of fish I like:
Goldflake Angel (but I have LPS coral) ;
Harlequin Tusk (but I like my cleaner shrimp)
Sunburst Anthias (but LFS told me I would rarely see it)
Coral Beauty (this is a real contender)
Wrasse (like Potter's but I've heard they are hard to get past QT/eating)
Yellow Clown Gobies (Gobiodon okinawae)
***your suggestions of fish I haven't thought of
