Colorful Reef Fish Suggestions

[falconut]

Any ideas on a colorful Reef Safe Fish for a 90 gal.? I do not have any shrimp, just hermits and snails.

Not too interested in Fairy Wrasses. And NOT a real expensive fish. Hopefully less than $100.

Thanks

I'd start with a yellow tang.

Royal Gramma
Clowns and an anemone
Chromis
Mandarin (if you have sufficent pods)
Tangs
4-line wrasse (about $40)
Angel (if you want to try one, but might nip at corals)
Foxface Rabbitfish (I think reef safe)
Blue Throat Trigger (also might nip at corals)
Just some suggestions, but what do you want in colors, size, where they are in tank, etc. Good Luck

I recommend a Flame Angel or Potter's Angel.

Is the blue throat trigger truly reef safe? I've never had the courage to try any trigger in a reef. Will it even leave small crabs, snails and shrimp alone? I realize the poster stated he doesn't have any shrimp or crabs (other than hermits).

How about Anthias? A Fathead(sunburst), square spot, or lyretail are all cool A fairy wrasse (solar, lubbocks..) is also very bright A twin spot wrasseAKA candy wrasse(hog) is bright, I had one of those and a Flame angel and they were equally as colorful.
