Well I wanted to find out what you as a club thought of your favorite reef fish. I ask this because I am interested in adding a few more to my tank I was thinking 2 pipe fish or watchmen gobys. I know my tank is large and they stay small I just want to add more dimensions to the tank.
I have.
2 regular clowns
4 green Chromis
2 Bangi Cardinals
2 pink Anthasis
1 Rabbit
2 mandarin dragons
1 yellow tank in display 1 in sump
1 vlamingi tang
Total water volume is around 280 gallons display 215.
I am wanting something unique and colorful. Looking forward to see what you guys have.

Well right now my favorite fish is my fuzzy dwarf lionfish. She is small still and does not bother my fish. She is kind of too slow to catch most fish anyway.
***Probably would eat your baby cardinals so not a good fish for you though***

The only thing not Reef safe with after 11 years is Feather Dusters

Sorry I just realized you got rid of one because he wouldn't play nice with your clam, when I had clams mine was perfectly fine with them. My angels on the other hand where a different story

Reef safe is kind of a odd term since it seems like there are always exceptions within a species (not sure what word to use). Like I have heard some six line wrasses aren't reef safe when they are classified as reef safe.

Flasher and Fairy Wrasse. I love the dynamics they show and the males "flashing" is pretty cool

My Hawaiian Flame Wrasse has been a real joy to watch. Like Justin said they add a colorful dynamic to the tank. Also the Hawaiian is an out going fish, spending most of its time in the water column.

As with any wrasse Mike, you will want to have s screen cover on the tank. They enjoy surfing the carpet.
