Looking for a very active and colorful fish

[Maritimer]

Among the wrasses, flashers and at least the smaller fairy wrasses should be safe with your shrimp - some larger wrasses consider shrimp an ideal meal.

Dwarf angels are reputed to be OK with _most_ corals _most_ of the time - but not always. Most of them seem to be both active and brilliantly colored, and I'll admit to being sorely tempted to add one to my tank out into the future! Based on what I've read, they should be safe enough with the corals you're keeping. (I consider myself something of a newbie though!)

Melanurus wrasse will be a great addition to that tank.

Thanks , that's an awesome angel are they hard to keep ?

So far he's a piece of cake

My potters angel is very active and has left all corals alone.

Get a tanaka's possum wrasse. They never stop swimming all over the tank. I have a yellow banded, but the tanaka or white banded are a nice red color. Very cool, completely peaceful, and definitely active. My cat is obsessed with mine because of how it moves around endlessly.

What about an angel and a wrasse? Or would it be to over stocked ? I do 15 gallon water changes weekly .

I think you'll be ok with both.

Here are some others no one has mentioned. What about an indigo hamlet or hawkish? There is also a the Atlantic longnosed butterfly. I think they are seasonal and kinda pricey.

Awesome .
And I have always thought that a hawkish will eat any shrimp that are in the tank .

I second the possum wrasse, Wetmorella albofasciata. These guys never stop looking around the tank, until it's time to sleep. Great addition too, can take care of pests.

Yellow or white banded opossum wrasse? Will either get along with flasher wrasse? I'm just now learning about a community tank . I have always had predator reefs .

Possum wrasses get along with everyone. Model citizens for a community tank.

I promise that you will love the possum wrasse. Great fish.

I have a yellow banded. He is brown with yellow stripes. If you are looking for more color, then go for the white banded since it is red instead of brown.

Thanks for the help , I am gonna order one and I'll post it up when I get it .

What about a bristle tooth tang? Your tank might be alittle on the small side but depending on how your live rock is set up (swimming room) i think one could work. Going to be adding a kole tang to my 75 gal soon.

Diver's den has them all the time. That's where I got mine. You can also get the Tanaka version. Which is the same color as the white banded, but the white bands are a little more funky.

 

[brett559]

Melanarus wrasse or flame angel. If it were me, I'd get both.

There is actually another thread where the white banded looks brownish also. The red/brown color may depend on the specimen.
