New member
i know this is kind of wierd and almost impossible to do because of opinions but i have a 60G reef and i am basically looking for the coolest reef safe fish to put in, now i have some gobies and dartfish, a dwarf lion, along with a maroon clown.
 
In terms of "Coolest Reef fish" what are you looking for? Some thing very active or some thing brightly colored.

What seems to be missing the fish you currently have, outside of a tang, is a small Dottyback/Basslet or wrasse, like a 6-line or Mystery wrasse.

Dottyback/Basslet:
Orichard
Royal Grama
Sunrise

Wrasse:
6-Line
Mystery
Fairy type

Just make sure they're big enough so the dwaf lion can't swallow them.
 
ya i also was thinkign about picking up the indian ocean sail fin tang but the one we got in today wasnt good looking, and on the note i also got a huge green torch coral that is awsoem today and a pearl scale butterfly for my FOWLR, any info on these would be appreciated.
 
There's a fairly good chance that you'll come home one day and fine your dartfish and gobies missing, and your dwarf lionfish very fat.

Lionfish can eat fish that are longer than themselves, and they can usually eat things of much greater size that you would expect.

I do not recommend elongated fish, like wrasses and dartfish with any piscivorous fish. It may be 2x the length of the lion, but IME, these fish can easily coil up...in the lion's stomach.
