I decided Im going to stick with reef instead of FOWLR and its about time to add another fish to my 92g corner. I have mushrooms in there. I have a hippotang, clarki clown, ocelaris clown, yellow tailed blue damsel and green chromis damsel. What can I add to spice thing up a bit, I need color and something thats relatively hardy. Thanks a bunch

As Always when someone wants a colorful fish to add i always tell them look at the Fairy wrasses. Some of the most colorful fish out there and fun to watch once they come out of their shyness, the bad side is they are are jumpers. Here is a Pic of my Soloranis Fairy

burton nice fish how big is it?

Just out of curiousity, what makes flame hawkfishes so popular? Is it how they are funny because they perch?

Flame Angel.... Yellow watchman goby...

those two have some of the brightest colors in the ocean IMO.

I think itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s because they will eat your shrimp and small fish.

How about a coral beauty itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s one of my favorite fish in my tank.

A few ideas: A male lyretail anthias would be neat.
A comet: they can hide in the rockwork but they have awsome colors and are extremely hardy.
I third the fairy wrasses. Alot to choose from.

I love the color of the Orchid Dottyback. They are peaceful and will add a lot of color to your tank. I also love the flame hawkfish, not so much because of its color, but because of its personality.

I find them very entertaining because they seem to be very interested in what's going on outside of the tank. Mine will follow me around and look at me. My dog also plays with him everyday. The fish will swim back and forth while the dog chases him, then the fish will just sit there in front in a staring contest while the dog licks the glass. They do this same routine everyday... my dog is easily entertained
