How about a wrasse of some sort. like a flasher or lubbocks, or Scott's fairly.
All beautiful fish that are great for swimming around

Ummm, wrasse are beautiful but pick on peaceful fish and shrimp? My jawfish and goby were leary of the tang...don't know how they would handle a wrasse. I love angelfish but they are caution when coming into reef tanks? | |

I've had all the wrasses mentioned above and none of them have picked on inverts. Actually I have found that adding a swimmer like a wrasse makes other fish less fearful. I think it is because the smaller fish use the wrasse as a danger guide. If the wrasse is out swimming there must not be any danger so they come out. | |

Maybe you should try a flame hawkfish, just kidding how about some chromis. _________ 90 gallon tank with center overflows, 44 gallon custom sump/fuge, Tek T5 retrofit 4x54 bulbs, Reef Octopus nw200 protein skimmer, Iwaki WMD40RLXT return pump (changed to panworld 100pxx),Knop c ca reactor, PA light house controller.

Another possibility might be Anthias. Best in 3s or 5s with a single male. _________  Doc | |

Well I love the sixline wrasse, would it pick on my gobies? Does it need fine gravel to dig or does it swim alot? I also love the flame angel, lemonpeel angel, and I love the basselet(purple/yellow body). My thing is I want a fish that swims around because besides my clowns, the rest hang out on the bottom. Having a 55g tank with tiny fish looks so empty! | |
