What are your favorite reef fishes? I won't be re-stocking anytime soon but I'd like to get some ideas. Since there are no fish in the tank now, pretty much anything goes. I like colorful, interesting fish that won't get too big or too aggressive.

Royal grammas are cool.Cardinals are awesome,peaceful fish that will pair up.Jawfish are magnificent as long as you have a tight lid.
Remind me of muppets.

I have a 125 gallon reef tank and a 90 gallon 1/2 reef tank.
125 gallon has red lipped blenny,yellow tang,purple tang,royal gramma,shunk clown,percula clown, and coral beauty angel.
They all live in harmony with a 150 lbs of live rock.

My 90 gallon had 40 lbs of dead rock that we put 8 lbs of live rock in with and 20 lbs of live sand. We let this run for 7-8 months without anything in it. We would take pictures of fish from my other tank and tape them to the outside as a joke. We added a fox face,yellow tang, regal hippo tang,royal gramma, and a large maroon clown. Boy great move by our part. We have not lost anything but snails. They all live in harmony.
