Fish for SPS tanks

[mv123]

I have a 28G mainly SPS tank, that is well established with good growth and fine water quality. Right now, I have 2 small clownfish, a six line wrasse, and a bicolor blenney. The fish are all well behaved, never mess with the corals. Since the water parameters are fine and coral is growing, I am confident I have room for another fish.

I would like to add one more fish to the tank. I want something that would of course be sps safe, not picking at the polyps. Also, it should fit in the 28, so nothing too big. Finally, I would like something that is in the water column most of the time. The wrasse and bicolor are nice fish, but they are in and among the rocks most of the time, so they are hard to see unless you are right at the tank. I would like a fish that you can see swimming about, as the clowns do.

Any suggestions?

green chromis

possibly a firefish, was thinking about that. Chromis are "too boring" according to the kids :-(

I dont want to risk an angel, and I know the tank is too small for tangs. But I wish there were more substantial fish that would work, the firefish is kind of thin an small.

What about an anthias? I know they need to be fed a bit more than others, but this should be ok for the sps anyhow. maybe just 1 in my 28 G?

I'd be afraid of what feeding even one anthais would do to water quality in a 28g SPS tank.

Flasher wrasse, maybe?

I loved my McCormack's Flasher Wrasse, but you have to be careful. It loved to jump. I saved it twice before it finally died from its carpet surf.

Flasher wrasse is cool, rainbow wrasse, pygmy angle, potters angel, tangs, hawkfish.......

IME all the fish you already have can have a little attitude so you might want to add something with a little punch that can hold their own. purple or diadem psuedos would be a nice add or a flame hawk fish would be cool too but they don't swim much mostly perch on rocks
