Balancing the anthia (colorwise)

[niter]

I am looking to balance out the warm colors of our anthias with some blues, greens, and true purples (less inclined for warm pinkish purples). What are nice fish for this purpose? I was thinking a chromis (green or blue reef??) but I am not particularly interested in forming a shoal of them. Just a few for color.

Blue Reefs would be cool, I'd skip the generic Green Chromis.

How big of a tank? For some green, I'd look into a Halichoeres rubricephalus, if you don't mind loosing some CUC.

Thanks. I have a 150 DD (I think DD is for the deeper one, right?). That wrasse is very cool but I have a six line already in the tank. I am still worried about that little bugger because when he gets bigger he may make adding new fish troublesome as our old one did.

Angels and tangs (powder blue or hippo).

Alright better question, what's your current stocking?

tangs (powder blue or hippo).

Hippo will outgrow a 150 and the Powder Blue is marginal, IMO.

I am not a huge fan of the powder blues and hippos for our tank (*love* them elsewhere just not up to finicky tangs that will need to be rehomed anyways).

I have lyretail anthias, ignitus anthias, six line wrasse, starry blenny, purple firefish, two clowns, and a recently acquired macneill's assessor basslet.

I'm not looking for many fish, just one or two to help the blue devilfish balance out all that yellow, coral, and red!
