Right now in my 40B and looking for a few opinions on what I'd like to stock the tank with and maybe some alternatives if you have them.

Current livestock:
2 Ocellaris Clowns
1 Carpenter's Wrasse

Future stocking idea:
1 Melanarus Wrasse
1 Longnose Hawkfish
1 Midas or Starry Blenny

If the melanarus wrasse would not work, are there any other center piece fish that are active/uncommon in the hobby?
 
I know 55's are bigger, but aren't 40B tanks a little forgiving in minimum tank requirements due to the depth?
 
H. melanurus and the other smallish (4+") Halichoeres cousins are debatable for a 40 breeder.

If the melanarus wrasse would not work, are there any other center piece fish that are active/uncommon in the hobby?
There's a few smallish fairy wrasses. Lubbock and yellow fin would be good. If you want a showstopper, pintail would be a good one.
