Wife and I are getting down to our final fish and we are having issues coming up with good ideas and would love some help.

We have a 120 with LOTS of caves and hiding places etc.

Currently we have a skunk clown, a pair of phantom clowns, a trio of pj cardinals, a coral beauty, a coral band shrimp, emerald crab, a sebae nem and a quad or crack-headed turbo snail. I have some zoas and plan on having some torches, frog spawn, shrooms and burds nest. I plan on getting a couple fire fish, a fairy wrasse and some anthias.

we are looking for a showcase fish or two to set the tank off. Bright colors please. Maybe something that will grow to a good size but not outgrow the tank.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
 
Since you’re going for the more stingy coral, I think a medium sized Chaetodontoplus could be a good move but I’ll let the Angel pros come in and do that side (I only own a Genicanthus Angel).

How far are you willing to go for price?
 
I do like Angels was afraid already having a coral beauty it may be constant fighting.

Koi scopas tang
 
I do like tangs, like the achilles (sp) tang, powder blue and yellows.
1st two won't do well long-term in a 120. Achilles probably won't fare well in the short term either. Yellow will be fine. I would have it as the only big, laterally compressed fish, as it will likely be aggressive.

Watanabe or Bellus angel.
Good one.
