Looks cool, how about a 1 spot foxface?

They get 7" long, so nearly 1/3 of the length of you tank. An adult will barely have any room to move around. In truth, a 40B, while not suitable, would be better for the fish than the cube due to its length. Length is much more important than gallonage when it comes to fish selection.

I would also eliminate the flame angel from your consideration. Two feet in swimming length just isn't suitable for fish of much size.

ETA: The Chromis will winnow down to one. There will be only one dominant Chromis remaining after he kills off the others.

For the Anthias, the 60 cube isn't really suitable for one, much less three.

I already have the flame in my 37g, should i keep him in there instead?
 
I would think he would be better off there, all things equal. What are the tankmates in the 37?

Mated pair of purple firefish, 1 starry blenny, valentini puffer. Here it is ImageUploadedByTapatalk1389549350.467981.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1389549377.691527.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1389549390.149387.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1389549401.058735.jpg

The firefish have been in since the flame angel, puffer has been in for a year, and the blenny has been in for 8 months.
