DR P,(once again, thanks)
I do reaserch, but I find different answers all over the place.
Some places said that I could keep a dwarf flame angel in 30 gl or larger tank, some places say 50 gallons min for that fish.
So, How am i to know which place has "true" info?
That is why I started this thread.

Scott Michael's minimum tank requirements for an angelfish is either 20 or 30 gallons... I think it's actually 20 gallons. I have read that they don't need a ton of swimming room; they are more dependent on rocks to hide in.

Phil, the purple firefish would be great in your tank. Plus, since there is nothing to pick on it, it should stay out in your tank most of the day. :) Mine stays in the front center almost all the time (but within a quick swimming distance to his hideyhole.)

I would just add more corals or let the ones you have grow out. If you want more fish go for purple firefish, some neon gobies, different types of clown gobies. Something like that. I think your center piece fish are the clowns, you don't need an angel. Just add some corals to get the colors you want. Acans, micros, ect. I have a 15 gallon nano with 8 fish but when you look in you see 2 :) .But in a reef tank its about the corals rather then the fish. Looking good tho.

- What about a firefish, like a helfrichi or a purple firefish? Small, docile, non-competitive, very pretty.
:)

I second this. My most beautiful, colorful & active fish are the firefish. You can't go wrong with them.

bottom pic is a Helfrichi firefish. They are pretty pricey - will run you upwards of $160.

Here is a pic of my purple firefish:

And here is a pic of my old yellow assessor (another of the fish I recommended):

And Thunder, Mike's fat algae blenny (another fish I suggested for you):
