Help me pick a centerpiece fish as I plan my upcoming 300 gallon inwall. Tank will be mostly lps but some sps as well. I will have a pair of clowns, pair of b. cardinals, plenty of bartlet anthias to school, a few colorful reefsafe wrasse and many other smaller fish. Looking for one or two fish that will get larger that will provide a nice contrast to the small fish. Qualifications: friendly, colorful, and interesting. Thoughts?

blue faced angel, imperator angle, queen angle, sohal tang, black tang, dussimerri tang
the angles may be risky, but are awesome if they behave

If you have the money, go for a Gem tang.
Take at look at my thread on my 400 for some pic's of some nice fish.

I'd go with a pair of Naso's maybe. My male has a nice 3"+ long streamers. The other fish would be the pink tail trigger. Not seen to often but is reef safe. As for the Watanabe Angel, I have a male with some beautiful colors. I want to get a female to go with him. The only problem is that they are deeper water fish and so he tends to stay along the rocks and corals in the shadows some. beautiful fish, they just don't hang out in front like the triggers or tangs do.
Another one that I don't have but have seen is the sohoal tang like in the RC logo but they can be mean or a blue faced angle, one of my favorite. Good luck.

corsshatch triggers are fantastic. I have a maited pair. But the Black tang is nice too. I tried to get a gem tang but couldn't afford the 14oo.oo

"sailfin tang", "yellow tang" yeah, I've seen one the size of a plate, but even then, if you want a centerpiece, another option is a chevron tang. I really love them when they are juveniles, and as well as when they are adults. Does anyone know if they school? I'm considering a school of powder brown tangs, for a future tank.

I don't think powder brown tangs school... i actually thought that they are highly territorial?

Did not know that, they are really pretty, they haven't seemed to be too bad, atleast the ones we have had in at work. I thought that most tangs, coast the reefs together looking for algae.
Ruu, I love my clown gobies, I had three, two yellows and a green, but the green disappeared! They are too cool, altough a local reefer was having problem with them killing a large acro table. :-/
