  |  Give me some options
I am looking for some small open water swimmers for my tank the only fish I have in the tank now is a Coral Beauty. I am looking for small, reef safe, active open water swimmers. I am setting up the reef in a reef edge style tank. Alot of water movement and light. The only fish I normally see around here for that purpose are Green Chromis. I am personally bored to death by them so I am looking for options. I was think maybe some Anthias but I don't know much about them. Any fish you would suggest? |

Well, my clowns seem to stay in the open water. I think they have gone by the rocks 1 time in over a week. They usually stay at the top of the tank by the glass picking off helpless little copepods.
