Need a tank "WOW" fish!

[56longroof]

Hard to beat a leopard wrasse in my opinion.

 

[B&CinB.C.]

What about a royal gramma

 

[LovinlifeinGuam]

All great suggestions! If it was me, I'd lean towards the fang blenny or a Ruby Red Dragonette (as long as you can maintain the pod population). I think you probably can with just one.

hey there! how are things going for you by now?

Pretty! But recommends 70g for them and they can nip soft corals.

I had one in my softy tank for years, never nipped nothing :)was a mixed tank at one point too. Didn’t nip the LPS or sps either.

Fang Blenny.

Fang Blenny.

Wow what a chonk! They always look so malnourished at the LFS. Nice.

This^. Mine is a model citizen and hangs out in the open most of the day. That vibrant purple and yellow pops

i saw those on google and got very excited because i would love someone bright yellow!

If you like the yellow wrasse consider getting two. I have a pair and the way they interact with each other is really cool. Just make sure you add them at the same time. I actually didn’t add mine at the same time but it still worked out and they are very peaceful together. You can see them in the beginning of the video in this post.

The only thing I would add to doing a “pair” is I had a pair of radiants for years spawning but it is pretty well known they often both end up male and fighting. This happened to me and I had to catch one and rehome. Was fun while it lasted, just know you probably need an exit strategy someday. Fish trap worked for me.

That’s good advice. I think generally you shouldn’t do anything in this hobby without a good plan or exit strategy. Fish don’t always get along. Equipment breaks. Stuff happens. We should always be prepared whenever adding anything new or making changes.

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Fang Blenny.

I haven't seen one of those in person before!

 

[JumboShrimp]

Slightly venomous.

 

[vetteguy53081]

Possum wrasse
lined basslet
Prawned goby
tailspot blenny
clown goby

 

[Badblackdog]

Get a pair or more of Lyre Tails. Lots of color and activity.

 

[formallydehyde]

Yeah but as far as I know you would pretty much need to grab a fang blenny with your bare hands to get them to bite you, which would be quite an accomplishment considering how quick they can swim.

 

[Tamberav]

I thought a fang blenny was dead after shipping, it bit me :) It did not sting but I did bleed out of a pair of small holes... looked like a snake got me or something.

Do not pick up those fish with bare hands even if they look dead :p

 

[ReefTankENG]

Yellow Coris Wrasse or flame hawk fish, or both. I had them both in my 50 gallon for years. They are now in my 200 gallon. The yellow is always out and about. They both have a lot of personality and are very hardy. You can kind of see the flame hawk in the top right of the 50 gallon

nah- you just need 3 feet (4 preferable). Mine never nipped at a coral
