SPS and Fish types

[OCDreefer]

What are peoples recommendation on the best fish to keep with SPS. I am upgrading o a 40 gallon breeder. I like to keep fish that swim in and out of the rock work.

Flasher wrasse would be a good choice. Colorful, active, and not very expensive(in comparison to other fish). I also like my sunset anthias.

royal gramma
banggai cardinals

I also like blennies, gobies and jawfish, but they probably aren't the active fish you're looking for. Tailspot blennies are really cute. Mine is usually perched in it's hole in the rock.

i agree with the sunburst anthias its one of my favorite fish in my tank. Once it became used to my tank its always usually out swimming around the rock.

If you like smaller reef fish, try a Hector goby or Rainford goby. They are very active and are not shy.

fairy wrasses are great for movement and color.

I love my scooter blenny (really a dragonet) he's very active, traveling all over the rock work and walls hunting pods, but he also happily eats mysis and small chunks of oyster/clam/etc.
Mine is the less colorful black splotches with red tail and green spotted top fin, but I have seen bright red ones as well.

Royal Grammas love darting in and out of the rockwork. Try and stay away from those yellow clown gobies, they like to nibble on sps.
