I am looking for a fish with a personality where its usually out and about but fairly peaceful but not over energetic in swimming

Then do not get a tusk or trigger...they like to swim. How about a pair of bellus angels? I have a female and waiting on a male, a beautiful and sweet fish.

I had a bluejaw for a few months. He didn't like when I put my hand in the tank. he was reef safe except he liked playing with snails. I got rid of him when he accidentally put bite marks in my blue tang. he really wasn't attacking him they were all just going after food aggressively.

Flame Angel would be my suggestion. beautiful fish. Hit or miss, maybe. I and others have had no problems.

Would be worth a try.

If you are looking for a large, colorful fish that is not a fast swimmer and is relatively peaceful consider the longhorn cowfish and the popeye catalufa a.k.a. short big eye.

Thanks for some great listings of fish,

pennyguy23- I am not thinking about keeping a morish idol now, I may consider it if I have a great job, a big home, and a 500 to 1,000 gallon tank in like 10 to 20 years and then I will still contact people like Paul B before doing it.

I am still so stuck on deciding on the finishing touches over the next 6 months on fish for the 120. I can add about 10 to 15 inches of fish, would like it to be two large fish, and would like them to be as reefsafe as possible. My primary reason for not getting a tang is the 4 ft swimming room of the 120 and ich, though I do like them.

I am leaning towards a flame angel, coral beauty, bellaus angel, or harlequin tusk. I believe I crossed out the trigger. The cowfish is likely to fight with my puffer over food and could be potentially toxic to the tank. I have 4 ft of swimming room with lots of overhangs, its why I have been leaning towards a tusk for some time.

Thank you for the help all -
Brad

I had a bluethroat and tusk in the same tank for some time, and they got along well. Surprisingly the tusk was slightly the boss. However, the bluethroat liked the water column and the tusk weaves through the rocks, so they don't compete directly. Neither pick on any other fish in the tank, but none are small. Unfortunately the bluethroat jumped out, and now it's just the tusk and other friends.
