Large blue fish ( husbandry )

My wife has requested a large blue fish for our tank. I am not particular about the shade of blue as long as it's clearly blue. Here's my problem I have a reef tank with shrimp & snails so it has to be reef safe and not eat my inverts...

My tank is a 150 ....

I am taking all suggestions as everything I have come up with is not reef safe....

Thanks...

Blue Fiji Devil---inexpensive, active, and quite blue especially if you insist on the all blue, no yellow belly. Grows to about 3".

There are 3 kinds of blue tangs. Purple tang looks more blue than purple to me too.
