Centerpiece fish for 90 g, compatible with

[dendro982]

Which type of fish will look good as the centerpiece in 90g BB tank, compatible with 5" tasseled (tassle) filefish and valentini puffer (the peaceful one)? I'm thinking about something around 5-6" max size.
Any ideas?
For now it's FOWRL tank, but I'll try to make it reef too.

well they are a hit or miss on reef, but how about a flame angel?

I didn't think you could have puffers or file fish in a reef, because they'll eat the coral.

You could try to find a Bellus Angel, Watanabei Angel or Blackspot Angel, they all get about 6" - 7" max and are reef safe. They just can be difficult to find and cost between $40 - 150, depending upon which one you want. They do swim out in the open almost all the time though.

to be honest, i think there is few fish you could put with a taselled filefish. those little bits and strings of tissue are very tempting for any fish that can pick or peck at anything. You would want a very docile fish such as the tilefish or fairy wrasses. I think an angel, or tang, or similar would eventually harass the filefish to death.
I agree about making it a reef- not a good idea with a puffer or toby (or filefish for that matter).

I think any angel or butterfly would do damage to the tasselled filesfish. just my opinion.

Thanks, everyone! I already have these two fish, they are like members of the family, reef is secondary - I would like to reduce number of tanks to simplify care.
Checked today LFSs - not much choice - and picked juvenile pterois lionfish (red with spotted fins) - never seen it before in stores. It will grow quite oversized for planned - has to be 8", but with only 3 fishes in the tank hopefully will be tolerable. Puffer was grown with red volitan lionfish (R.I.P. now) and don't bothers the similar new one.
