You could try a regal angel. A lot of people have done well with them in reefs. How big is your tank?

Other options: potter's angel, blue flasher wrasse, copperband butterfly

I would add a Chevron and a Regal.

You have zoas, LPS and other soft coral?

 

[marrone]

If you're looking for fish at least 5" try a Naso, Orange Shoulder or Lt tang. Also a Red Tail Trigger would work.

Dave, I would go with LT tang - there is one in the pictures I took of Atlantis - gorgeous fish IMO

He is here in the bottom right closest to the date - he has two "fingers" saluting over his eyelet.

Will do... damn angel is smarter than me though....

yup. but i'm willing to take out

 

[tomzpc]

Personally, I think your tank is pretty full as is.

Blond naso from Red sea, Powder Blue tang, and the ones house suggested.

Large angel are taking a gamble even just a SPS only tank, people seems to have better experience with Imperator. Both mine nips corals.

I got a Mimic Tang, (acanthurus pyroferus) which mimics a lemonpeel angel from Blue Zoo Aquatics. This fish is bright yellow with powder blue accents around the eyes and gills. He's very active and a bright flash of color. I got a yellow eyed Kole Tang at the same time and while they're both active, they eat different stuff, (have different mouth forms) so there's no competition. The Mimic must have some parasites because it rubs up aqainst the rock and sand, and I saw it backing up to my cleaner shrimp with the shrimp flailing away with it's feelers. Life in the tank.
I think the Mimic Tang doesn't get the press it deserves.
