What are your plans for the tank? You could go with a few options. Here are some ideas.All Large Fish: This would be your everyday FOWLR tank with an angel,trigger,puffer,tang ect....
All Small Fish: I have found that more people are going for this look, and I do like it. The idea of a bunch of smaller fish and lots of movement. Dwarf angels, anthias, flasher wrasses, clownfish pair, ect...
Show fish w/ smaller fish: Picking a larger show fish and working around it. For fish there are endless possibilities!
Mix: What ever you like.
I would just pick fish that you like and start building a list from that. Tell us what you specifically like if you want help putting together a list.
Hope that helps!

Well most likely either a tang or angel (maybe pair). But I have always wanted a blue throat trigger too......

After getting the damsels out you will have the fallowing list if I am correct.
Mated pair of O. Clowns (stays small)
1 6-line wrasse (about 3")
1 4" bird wrasse (can get up tp 11")
1 4" christmas wrasse (will get about 5")
1 2" chromis (stays small
You have one fish that gets large. I would work around it and maby get two other mid sized fish and some other small fish. If you want a tang I would go with something smaller like a purple or kole.
For angels, what kinds do you like? Dwarfs? Large? What specific kinds catch your eye?
I think you would be ok with the trigger, but someone would have to check me on that.
If I were you, I would do something like:
Mated pair of O. Clowns
6-line wrasse
Bird wrasse
Christmas wrasse
5 Chromis
Anthia Trio
Kole Tang
Flame Angel
Bluethroat trigger

Regina13: Ok that list sounds great. I am not a big fan of the pygmy angels but do like the Japanese swallowtail. Would it be ok to do a pair of them instead of 1 angel and 1 tang? The bird wrasse is the female version so I dont want to center around her. As for the anthias which ones are the hardier of them?
Thank you everyone for the input so far. The Damsels are out......

I think you could still do the pair and a tang.

Why is everyone hating on the poor Damsels..lol.
Mine are model citizens except to each other. In the right setting they are great.
My vote is medium to large Angel..nothing over 12" or Pygmy or both and a tang.
Let's say....
Purple Tang or Sailfin
Flame Angel
Annularis or Majestic Angel

Regina13: Do you think one of the angler species would work in the tank? One that wont grow over 4". Also what about a indigo hamlet?

I would say no to the angler... You would be taking a big risk with it eating your fish. The hamlet I am not sure about.

Flame Angel all the way. They get up to 6 inches when fully grown. That way you could get another larger angel or larger fish of a sort. Flame angel will bring some serious bright color. whatever angel you choose to get make it the last fish you add to the tank.

Regina13: Would it be possible to do BiColor Angel pair instead of the Swallowtail pair. They of course would be added at the same time
