I just upgraded my 55g to a 75G. While I had the chance, I got rid of a lot of fish. I still have a pair oc clowns, a coris wrasse, a coral beauty and a yellow tang. I am looking for that wow fish. I need some suggestions that will be reef safe.

Depends who you want to say "WOW".  Hardcore reefers it has to be something ultra rare and pricey, for anyone else, just bright colours will do the job.

I like the wow factor my blue tang gives, when she comes out to say hi.  Everybody who sees my tank zones right in on her too, the colours are unreal, she almost doesn't look real, like she's straight out of a cartoon.

What does a gem tang look like? I cant find it on the web. I was thinking a blue tang, I really like them. What else can you guys come up with?

4` 75g.  I thought a sweetlips wasn`t reef safe either ?  That would look good if it was.


There not technically  if you have small fish,

Chevron tang is a good one, but will out grow,
How about a blue spot jaw fish
Or a flame wrasse

Go on liveaquaria.com and just browse :)

Powder blues are beautiful, but prone to ick and very aggressive towards other tangs.  I would get rid off the Corris wrasse and get yourself a really nice fairy wrasse or two.  Then down the road get those anthais and you would have a fully stocked and non aggressive tank full of beautiful, busy fish.  Just my two cents.

I was also thinking flame angel but I just took out a cream because of nipping my coral. I don't want to go through that again. I already have a corris and it eats all my snails so I don't want to add more. It`s hard enough to keep snails as it is.
