Hey everyone,
I just set up a new 50 gallon tank and I am looking to find some kind of show piece fish to top the tank off. I currently have a few damsels, a clown and a cleaner wrasse. Any ideas?

5 line mystery wrasse?
Male Lyretail Anthias - though your tank maybe a little small

Wrasses are great , maybe a pair of flasher wrasses , or a couple of fairy wrasses . Very colorful fish and very active.
considered a dwarf angel ?
I've always like the flame angel. I have about 40 fish in my aquarium and the flame angel always pops. Just no other fish that bright in my tank.

My main guys in a 65g are Lemonpeel Angel, Foxface and Starry Blenny. The Angel picks at some polyps of softies but otherwise they're all great residents.

my lfs said of all the dwarf angels the flame is least likely to pick at corals?
can anyone confirm this?

flame's are hit and miss, lots of stories both ways. Some people have them in their tanks for a long time, and sell them, and in the new tank they start to pick at coral. I have a coral beauty that's so far been safe, nice looking fish under the actinics.

Well I've been thinking of a Mac Melanderous wrasse or a mystery wrasse. I have been kinda weary of the flame angels because they seem to nip at corals.
