[mtlreeffreak]

thanks for the suggestions!

Stuck on either a few Maldives anthias or a flame angel!

May I say gold Assesor or blue Assesor? I haven't had any yet but would like one or a few... They are a bit pricey though...

 

[mtlreeffreak]

No budget. Can you post a link where I can find these ?

Blue Assessor:

I prefer the gold assessor as far as color goes

I recall from the "fish that hide the most thread" that one individual got a gold assessor basslet for his 34 gallon tank and basically never saw the fish. Something to think about.

Related to your topic, a Masked Swallowtail Angelfish Female? I have never had one of these but think they look awesome.

My lfs has three gold assessors in their 180 reef display and you can always see them, maybe not way out in the open. The ones I have seen swim upside down under coral and rock shelves, really interesting to watch.

 

[mtlreeffreak]

hmm your right the gold assessors are real nice!

I also agree with the Gold and blue assessors, definitely my next picks

id go with fairy or flasher wrasses if you wan "pop" nothing will add more IMO. Sure big fish are nice, but there is much to be said for a striking looking fairy. Common or priceless, wrasses are amazing fish.

 

[Reefing Newbie]

Rhomboid Fairy wrasses are probably my favorites! The only problem I have is with flasher wrasses is that there is a very small number of females up for grabs, otherwise I would be doing a trio of McCosker's flashers instead of a trio of exquisite fairies.

Reef Safe:

Trio of anthias, such as Bicolor, lyretail, squareback, ignitus, dispair and bartletss are all very nice.
