Drop off species

[Moort82]

If you could recreate a tank with a drop off style (essentially steep vertical wall with plenty of open swimming space next to it with maybe a bommie far on the other side), with associated flow conditions, what species would you choose apart from Anthias.

Tusks...

There is a beautiful drop off tank in the large tanks forum. He just not long ago upgraded to a larger one from his previous drop off tank. You might get some ideas there.

* Red Spot Cardinals
* Longspine/Ghost Cardinals
* Assessors
* Fathead Sunburst Anthias
* Blotchy Anthias

etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've checked out the thread and its a nice tank but seems to stock the usual suspects.
I guess what I really meant was species found naturally in drop offs, ie reef walls. Every pic online seems to be anthias focused and its hard to make out any other species. I'm guessing planktovores fit the bill nicely but trying to find some smaller species.

I suspect Paracentropyge angels would be good candidates as well as regals. Longnose hawkfish, especially if you kept a gorgonian or two jetting out, would make a wonderful focal point. Marine bettas and assessors would probably be right at home as well.
