At an adult size of nearly 9 feet and 800 pounds, I don't think a 57g tank would work... :hmm3:

This may sound 'old school' and seem dumb ay first but.....
There is nothing more colorful than a tank full of assorted damsels and a clownfish or two:
They are inexpensive...
They are very active...
They are almost bullet proof...
They come in a variety of colors...
They will not outgrow your tank!
I would put several of each: Yellow tail damsels (can substitute any blue and yellow damsel), Talbots damsels (yellow and lavender), 3 stripe dacyllis, domino damsels, and a Tomato or two percula anemone fish. Add a Royal Gramma and you have a beautiful mix of colors. Best of all, they are all 'reef-safe' and allow you to grow any coral you want without fear.
Yes, these are agressive fish but, if you add several of each, they will spread the aggresion out and no one gets picked on. There is constant activity and color in your tank.
Fish don't have to be expensive and 'difficult' to maintain to acheive a sense of accomplishment and a beautiful tank.

The one I saw had less yellow. Other then that they were exactly the same. I was going to buy him but it was $190. I have spent my limit on my tank until I get a job.

Couldn't agree more on the damsels.

+1 many kinds to choose from. just make sure you don't get one that turns drab dark colors when adults. some of them do, look awesome small & not so much as adults

Consider this fish. It is a very docile fish for a damsel. You cannot find a bluer fish. A small group will be very active and breed in your tank. I got 3 in my 65 gal for 8 years. They spawned all the time, every 10 days or so. (picture from VividAquarium.) This fish fit your bill to the teeth. Bright color, hardy, active and cheap.
