Maybe a possum wrasse. Pink streak wrasse. Not sure on tank size requirements for anthias, but those would fit the bill if the tank is appropriate size. Sapphire damsels are pretty active and dont deserve the damsel reputation when it comes to other fish, from experience. They are also pretty and cheap, so good bonus.

I have a Yellow Candy Hogfish in my 25gal nano and it likes to swim up top and is quite friendly to all of my other inhabitants & coral. All LPS and Softies.

That guy will become fairly aggressive once it matures in that tank.

Mollies, I put in 3 or 5 over the years and I still have one. It's first to get sucked in the feeding cup if I am not careful. It cruises at the top and I think that it encourages others to swim near the surface since it never gets picked off by birds while its up there?
