Decent sized fish for 40 breeder

I love tangs but sadly my soon to be reef tank is too small for a tang. What is a decent sized fish for a 40B reef? I'd love to have something to look like a tang as well.

Pigmy angel? That would be a good fit. Fairy wrasse, blenny, goby. Lots of choices.

The fish listed above are probably the biggest that are appropriate for your sized tank. Anything bigger would need a larger tank.

Fuzzy or zebra dwarf lion.

The smaller of the pygmy angels.

Possibly a marine betta.

If you want a larger fish that would do well in limited space a frog fish would work. They don't move much, but you won't be able to have inverts or any other fish cause they will eat them.
