Default Fish Suggestions

So My 40G has been up and running for about 2 months now. I've just added the last of the rock and I need one more small Reef safe fish.
I was thinking or a Leopard Wrasse but with it's special dietary needs I'm going away from that. Plus it should have more room to rome.
I have a mated pair or False Percs, and a Black cap Basslet.
I would like
1: A mover/swimmer
2: Colour
3: Reef Safe
4: No special needs

I tend to go with smaller fish and as it is only a 40G I should stay with smaller. I will be having soft and LPS and Maybe SPS in this tank.

So what do you think, what is the last fish to go into this tank?

J

Well, my favourites smallish fish is a lemonpeel angel :-)

Bright yellow, with fluro blue markings. *The one I had didn't bother the coral, was easy to feed, and was just generally a good low baggage fish :-)

Hey John you read my mind, but all info says that they have been known to pick at SPS and LPS. I will dig further.

Jason,

I guess if you ask enough people which fish pick at corals you will end up with a list of every fish in existance :-)

Out of the pygmy angels I think that the LP is the least likely, but you just never know ;-)

John,

The pictures that are published just don't do justice to the actual colour of the fish particularily the blue edges on the fins and the eye markings

One of my favorites has all ways been the Flame Angel. I love the red body with blue fins.

John,

Well mine did, I had a orange shoulder tang in the same tank. The tang was a lot bigger though ( if that matters ) :-)
