Ok crew. We’re ready to add a show fish to this ecosystem. We have a 125 long 1/3 full of rock so lots of room to swim. Current inhabitants are 2 ocellaris clowns, lawnmower blenny, sand sifter goby a small six stripe wrasse and a purple and yellow wrasse. Forgot the name. I’ve got room for a fish that swims in the middle to upper half of tank and jumps out at you when it swims! Bright colors, reef safe for lps and sps corals. This will be the last fish added so it has to count! Any ideas? what are your show fish?

The genus Genicanthus has a number of showstoppers worth considering, they are reef safe, non-aggressive, hardy, won't get too big. You can keep a pair or a group together and watch the interaction.
Think beyond tangs!

You have a chance at reef safe with regal, emperor or the majestic angels. They certainly are super nice in the tank.

I love wrasse, especially flasher and fairy wrasse. Six-line wrasse is such a curmudgeon. Without it, you can add a lot of colorful fish. See if you can remove him.
If you remove the Six-line, you can add a few of the following. All wrasse need tightly fit screen top. There are a numbers of them price from 20.00 to 2000.00 or more. I am sure seen some of these will really result in you getting wrasse fever.

Male Black Leopard, nuptial coloration. Need sand bed

McCosker Flasher. This is a very small male, color not fully developed. Full super-male is a lot more colorful.

Of course no reef tank is fully stock without the Yellow Tang IMO.
