45 Gallon centerpiece fish reef safe

[Navyman14]

Hi all,

What would be a good center piece fish for a 45 gallon? I have two clowns and a Midas Blenny now.

I would take the chance on a Coral Beauty, or Flame Angel.

Royal Grammas are striking!

Swiss guard Basslet. Super unique fish.

Every tank needs a wrasse, there’s a lot of beautiful flasher wrasses.

Have you had good luck with yours ?

I have the flame angel in a jbj 45 and its bittersweet if she decides she doesn't like something then its days are numbered she left one fire fish completely alone but murdered the other one loves my six line they are bff's but murdered my orchid dotty back

I also have the JBJ 45. I think I am going to stay away from an angel

Do you think it would work in a lidless tank? With lots of tight rockwork. And currently under stocked tank.

Not lidless.

Definitely not

You’d be lucky to have it in water for 24 hours with no lid.

They are stunning but definitely come with trouble. I have 2 of the jbjs and im loving them so far made tops for them out of egg crate of amazon

That was going to be my vote!

A Valentini Puffer would be a good choice if you don't have any small invertebrates and want something unique. They have really nice contrasting color and the classic friendly puffer fish personality so they act like little dogs. Sometimes you can even train them to spit water out of the top to beg for food.

IMO no tank’s complete without an Angelfish even if they aren’t entirely reef safe. I agree with Coral Beauty, Flame, Flameback or Cherub. Flames are occasionally captive bred but you can get a captive bred Coral Beauty or Flameback relatively easily. Other than that, agree with a Basslet. Royal Gramma, Black Cap, or Liopropoma. RG and BC available captive bred. Yellow Assessor is underrated and available captive bred.
