What fish would you add?

[lpsouth1978]

I am finishing up my 75g upgrade and am starting to think about what fish I want to add. I will be moving everything over from my 40b, but think I may want to add a couple more fish. The problem is I don't know what I want to add. Help me out with what you would get.

There are some things to consider here:

1. Must be good for a 4' tank.
2. Must get along with my other fish and be reef safe.
The other fish in there are 2 x Spotcinctus Clowns, Melanarus Wrasse, Yellow tang
3. Must be relatively safe around anemones (I understand there is always a risk)
I have 3 Haddoni carpet anemones and a large RBTA, so nothing that sits still like blennies or hawkfish. I worry that they might perch too close and become a meal.
4. Think outside the box. I may not add anything, but if I do, it would be nice for it to be less common.

Lyretail anthias are fun to watch.

I'm an increasingly big fan of the zebra barred dartfish. Also, bangaii Cardinals are common, but one of my favorite looking fish.

I like anthias, but worry that I leave the house at 6am and don't get home until about 7pm everyday, so they wouldn't get the feedings they need.

Dartfish are an interesting thought. I haven't had any of them in YEARS. I do like the cardinals, but I have bad history with them eating shrimp and other inverts.

I have both, no problems with the Cardinals, but that's narrow experience. When I upgrade to my 90, I'm seriously thinking about doing a large group of dartfish. Tons of movement and really nice colors.

Lyretails are fine. The Queen Anthia gives them a bad name. I wouldn't worry about not being able to feed them between that time period

My Lyretail Anthias gets fed twice a day and seems to do well with it.

A unique shrimp goby (yasha or Dracula) could be an interesting addition. They may not move much but in my experience they do not explore too much.

Additionally, a small species hogfish (peppermint) or hamlet (indigo or shy) could be that level of uniqueness that you are looking for.

I have a soft spot for fairy wrasses! Or what about a square back anthias. I had 2 in my 120G rimless with no problems.
