Can anyone suggest my last fish addition??

[Perth_reefer]

I'm looking to add one last fish to my 150 SPS dominated tank and am not sure what to get. I'm looking for something active and between 4-8" so nothing too small. Current fish are:-

15 Yellow Striped Cardinals
1 White Cheek Tang
1 Yellow Tang
1 Flame Angel
2 Ocellaris Clownfish

Any suggestions anyone? Am not keen on a foxface by the way, I'll just say now because that would be the obvious choice!

With that many tangs, while I do love foxfaces, there could be grazing competition anyway. But I did notice this on LA just last night.

6" + reef safe + carnivore/omnivore is a tough one.

Yeah I've seen them on LA before. Never seen them for sale in any of my LFS though, despite them being native to the region.

Pyramid or Zoster butterflyfish?

Halichoeres melasmapomus, earmuff wrasse. Larger Halichoeres species that is great at keeping pests in check.

my vote, Genicanthus Lamarck,Genicanthus watanabei

 

[pinnatus]

How about a Harlequin Tusk?

Not as large as I think you are going for but a Melanarus is great color and pest eater.

Thanks everyone, some good suggestions. The Harlequin Tusk is nice but I value my clean up crew too much! The pyramid butterfly is definitely an option, I was looking at the lamarks angel too.......I'm tempted with a large angel, it's an sps dominated reef so if I kept it well fed it might work....or is that just wishful thinking??

 

[pinnatus]

I think large angels tend to pick on LPS and softies rather than sps.

That's what I've been reading, think I might give a majestic angel or a Regal angel a try if I can find one.

Angels of the Genus Genicanthus are reef safe, so they wont pick on corals as the other large angels would.

how about bellus angel, should get 6" or so and should be very reef safe

 

[Perth_reefer]

I had a Lamarks in my last system, nice fish but doesn't have much in the way of colour. I've read up a bit about the Bellus but never seen one in any of the LFS here.
