Favorite Green Fish?

I'm thinking about what fish to put in my 50 reef, and I'd really like to include one that is green. I'm looking for one that is a vibrant green, not a pastel green like a Chromis.
I am just setting it up and still deciding on all the fish, so compatibility is not really a concern yet. Just trying to get some ideas.

green clowns gobies are really pretty but prolly not a good idea if the tank isnt atleast six months old.. not sure bout that, but i'm sure one of the others can correct me if it's shorter or longer time period..

I too am looking to add a green fish. Look at Exquisite Wrasse or Scott's Fairy Wrasse. These are reef safe.
Lunare Wrasse are good, but will eat any shrimp.

Yeah, I know from experience. I had a six line that jumped one time when I had my glass lids off for cleaning and didn't get them back on right away. I didn't realize he did it until a few days later I found him dried up in the dining room.
Sounds bad to say, but I wasn't really upset because he was being a bully anyway.

Right now I have no fish at all. My old nano has been running basically empty, with just a few corals, and my new 50 is not set up yet.
I would like to do a small angel, and I was really thinking about a lemonpeel, but now I'm thinking about doing a pygmy/cherub instead.

so do you have a possible fish list yet for your tank!
tht is the or one of the bet parts about a sw systemm being able to have fish and little piece of the ocean in your home.. and the reef aspect is the icing on the cake so to speak

Green Corris wrasse, just sold an electric green one a week ago. It was awesome, and they stay on the smaller side of wrasses and are reef safe.

I am kind of liking the green coris wrasse. I will definately have to think about him.
I don't really have a fish list decided yet, but I do have some ideas. So far I am thinking:
A pair of clowns (still undecided which type)
Cherub Angel
Something green
Sunset Anthias (I really like, but not sure if it would be a good idea or not), or maybe a purple firefish
Just kicking around some ideas, so all suggestions are welcome!

best looking

many pinstripe wrasse look striking as well (some are bright green with red stripes but some not as striking. not sure if its male/female, location or just specimen to specimen)
