What is your favorite reef safe fish?

[windwaterwaves]

Having lost my lionfish this week, my 120gallon tank seems empty. I have an aggressive black/white spotted damsel, and a maroon clown hosting an rbta.

I don't want something that will create a lot of waste (been fighting nitrate problems for years with the big fish...), but I want something that is cool and will get along with things.

First off I'm thinking a flame angel, anyone else with some ideas of cool interactive fun fish? I want to keep moving forward with the reef stuff, but cool fish are awesome.. I've had a naso tang before that was cool, and I like purple tangs, but i'm told the tank is to small...

So.. ideas?

Thanks,
Ray

Yellow tangs don't get as big as some other tangs, they are fun.
Most JAWFISH are cool to watch if you've got some sand in the bottom.
A bonded pair watchman goby/pistol shrimp are soo neat to watch. And If your carfull how you shop you could get a piar of watchmans and a shrimp all hanging out in the same hole.
I got lucky and my yellows paired up..with the shrimp and they are so funny to watch..

I had a yellow and purple tang years ago, I prefer the purple one... I had a hawkfish but it was eaten by my lionfish when it grew... do they eat shrimp or something? I've got a bonded pair of watchman goby and pistol in my other tank but I NEVER see them... and i've always wanted a mandarin!

Tomini tangs stay relatively small and are very active algae eaters
