STOCKING A 300G, looking for a good show fish that is'nt a Tang, And is reef safe!

Harlequin Bass? (Kind of a bottom dweller, I “think”.) A very underrated fish.

nope lol had one of these guys once and had a cleaner shrimp too haha saw my bass had wiskers at one point in his life out of is face!

At the top of my head:
1. Aussie Harlequin Tusk
2. Harlequin Bass (maybe you can try a pair of them)
3. Mitratus, Burgess, Declivis Butterfly
4. Copperband or Marginalis Butterfly

5. Non-Genicanthus Angels:
-Trio of dwarf angels (Flame, Coral Beauty, African Flameback, Colin’s, Multi-Bar, Venusta etc.)

-Goldflake, Griffis, Majestic, Blue Line, Singapore, Red Sea Regal, Scribbled Angels.

*Do yourself a favor and get them captive bred if possible.

A pair of Goldflake, Regal, or maybe Blue Lines would look great.

I’d get a pair of these larger angels, a pair of Singapore Angels from Poma Labs, and a pair or trio of Centropyge.

Arlequín tusk.

To clarify just a bit more, OP what are your standards as to “reef safe?” Does it include inverts, tube worms as well as corals?

BIOTA Blue Lined Sea Bream

Blue lined sea bream The blue lined sea bream (Symphorichthys spilurus) will wear the crown in most predatory fish displays. With unusually bright coloration and fancy finnage for a large carnivore, it is among the most regal of aquarium fishes. These farm-raised specimens adapt much more...

most likely a no but ill throw it out there lol

Some of the monocle breams are cool with cool personalities, but I can never find them anymore. I think they would be awesome for combatting bristle worms.

Look down fish.

Not reef safe

with caution and he got a parrot as well

Batfish would be a must for me if I had a tank that size

 

[Mr_Knightley]

For a tank that big? Any of the large Xanthicthys trigger fish, no contest. X. ringens is my personal favorite and isn't all that common, another species is the Bluethroat trigger but they stay a bit smaller. You could try and find a crosshatch but you won't be able to find one for less than $800. A group of large Squareback anthias would also be fantastic, they get to around 6-8" max and can go longer between feedings than others due to their size.

 

[blaxsun]

Barracuda.
