I am looking to add another fish to my tank. I have zoas, shrooms and lots of softies. 4 tangs, long nose hawk, pajama cardnal, green chromis lawnmower blenny. lI am looking for something with some personality like my lawnmower Blenny. When my wife walks by the tank and looks he comes out and stares back at her ( I think it makes her feel good :P ) So, she wants something else with a personality. Any suggestions. The tank is 100 gallons, lots and lots of live rock.
Thanks

If you can get a small Niger Trigger, they tend ot have tons of personality. I had one before, you just need to watch it around some other fish, but mine was always fine. Just no clams with one though.

My puffer is always checking out my wife. He will come up to the glass and follow her. However he will eat some stony corals.

Hands down the midas blenny (Escenius midas). But make sure you have a covered tank or they may be a piece of carpet jerky with great personality.

candy hogfish - one of my favorite reef fish or a clown fish.

blue spot long horn cowfish. Get it as a "Boston Bean", about 3/4". They just bob around at the surface staring you down. They don't do anything fish like at all. Very strange, very fun. As adults they will spit water at you to get your attention.

Flamehawk. Those are awesome! No swim bladder so they 'waddle' from rock to rock. They act like a dog, following you from one side of the tank to the other. And always begging for food like a dog too!

Any problems with him being reef safe? I have always loved the cowfish.

An engineer goby. real cool fish but digs ALOT make sure all of your rock is VERY stable or else it could crash and squish your EG or crack a glass.

The sixline is doing very well. I have an engineer goby in my 12 gallon at school and he needs to move home. that might be an idea.
