My tank is cycled and ready to go, for almost two months and I have a small trio of Tom. Clowns. That I'm prob taking out for a pair of percs.. I've seen a bunch of fish at lfs but can't seem to pull the trigger on anything.....

Thinking about Swales Swiss guard
Naso
Harli tusk
Squirrel (striped)
Or big eye catalufa
Some yellow pseudo (abso fish had but it was spending a lot of time scratching substrate- so I passed)

Open to some ideas, I really enjoy the ornamental inverts but I seem to be drawn to fish that will feast on them at the moment

Tank has a wall hammer, candy cane coral, xenia, and I'll be swapping trio of Tom. Clowns for pr true percs this weekend. Just have to pick them up

Thinking about Swales Swiss guard( Never will see it, very shy fish)
Naso( Real big)
Harli tusk( Will pick off inverts and produce large amounts of waste)
Squirrel (striped) (eats shrimp, also hides it is nocturnal)
Or big eye catalufa
Some yellow pseudo (abso fish had but it was spending a lot of time scratching substrate- so I passed) Pretty hardy fish but can be aggressive with small fish)

Some suggestions:

Blue throat trigger(male)
Mimic Tang (Acanthurus pyroferus) or Kole Tang
Melanarus, Exquisite, Radiant or Yellow Coris Wrasse
3 PJ Cardinals
Dwarf angel if you want to take the chance with the corals ( Flame, Coral Beauty , Elibi etc)
3 Scissortail Gobies
Orchid Dottyback (Pseudochromis fridmani)

Have fun

"pulled the trigger"

Stopped by coral theory and met jimmy and vince today. I Added a sailfin tang and Midas blenny this afternoon. Both are in qt at the moment, the tang is very active and seems comfortable so far. The blenny is still blotchy and laying close to the PVC elbow in the tank.
I was looking at a naso, but after a brief conversation i went with the sf. Its a once change of pace eing in a small shop where the more expensive fish didn't get crammed down my throat!
