King fish of the tank

[murphdog]

I'm looking to buy one fish that is pretty great and probably expensive, like 150ish and that will be the "king" of the tank. The one that everyones attention will be drawn to. A colorful fish. Any ideas?
Thanks

Regal angel hands down. Definitely my favorite show fish. Although I would say you need at least 120 gallons for it to be happy. What size is your tank?

lol sadly, you can get a cheap yellow tang, and an expensive exotic fish and 9 times out of 10 non-reefers will be drawn to the yellow tang. Just get what makes you happy.

+1- get what you think is the king of the tank and not what we think. Ask 10 people and you will get 10 different answers. Check out live aquaria's site for ideas and go from there. Just pick fish that are compatible and also consider the size of your tank with what will work.
Best of luck

It is best to choose a fish that can live comfortably in your tank for its natural life. (That precludes emperor and other large angels and many tangs)
