Wow fish for my 45 gallon sps tank

Yellow assessor basslet
Swissguard basslet
Flameback angel
Helfrichi firefish
Blue spot jawfish

Those are some of the most eye catching fish I can think of that will for in your tank.
 
Seems like a variety of answers on that thread I don't think I would risk it though.
Keep the ideas coming.

I know that they are a bit over done but I still like several of the designer clownfish that are out there .... Prices can get a bit wild for some of the newer ones (ORA gold nugget for example) but some others are quite reasonable I have a pair of snowflakes in my tank they spawn once a month which definitely adds to the wow factor...

Could also go for a sunburst anthia (probably my favorite anthia) or a ventralis anthia (though your tank might be too small for one of those) or a white cap goby+ pistol shrimp as for affordable 'wow' factor wrasses I like the bipartitus though they can be finicky and again may not be suited to something that small

We have the same tastes. :) I like these suggestions.
 
I kept yellow assessor basslets in our 45 cube, and helfrichi firefish, and swissguard basslet. Any of them should do well for you.
We currently have a group of assessors in our 205g, 8 gold assessors and 2 randali (all ORA).
I would steer away from the ventralis and the borbonius. Ventralis are extremely difficult, and in my honest opinion, the borb will get too big. We did keep a sunburst in our 45 cube, and she did well. She is about 2". She lives in the 205 now, along with a pair of borbs, a pair of long fin ventralis (way too big for a 45g cube), and four cooperi anthias. Our long fin ventralis are about 3.5" and 4". Our year old borb is more than 3", and he was the size of a quarter when we bought him last February.

You're probably right on both counts ... Borbonious getting too big and ventralis too difficult... But those two are definitely wow anthias and other than the sunburst are the smallest wow anthias that I could think of, would love to see pics of your ventralis if you have them :)
