Fish ideas for shallow cube?

I would get a screen. That's what I did with rimless. I agree the tanks look better without the screens, but I don't think it's fair risking your fishs' lives just so your tank can look better.

Firefish, neon goby, Ocelaris clownfish, shrimp gobys, pajama cardinals, bangai Cardinals, chromis, yellowtail blue damselfish....

Any fish can jump if spooked enough. Their entire evolution has conditioned them to have the understanding that everything is water. Land is that stuff at the bottom of the water.

Yes that makes total sense. I'm really considering maybe making a glass top for my tank maybe. Or even going fishless. I did have one damsel in there but I found it a new home. It was always trying to cover the corals in sand and knock over my clean up crew

Glass tops get covered in salt creep quickly and reduce par. The glass itself also works to reduce par and it reduces gas exchange. I'm not saying you can't use a glass top successfully, it's just that screen tops provide the same protection without the drawbacks, at least functionally. They might not look at nice as a clean glass top.
