New fish

Okie dokie. I want to get a new fish. Id like a fish that swims around (unlike a cardinal or firefish) and will do well in a 8month old 29gal reef tank w/ a 20gal sump/fuge. I have a yellow watchman, 2 percs and an unidentified reef safe starfish.
I was thinking about a black cap basslet. Anyone have one of these?
I had a sixline but they apparently burry themselves when they sleep and the starfish decided it was a midnight snack. So i dont want to get another one of those
Any suggestions? I have plenty of filtration to support a decent bioload, and seeing as the tank is going to be Softie/LPS dominated i dont need to keep the water too pristine.
Any feedback is appreciated

I really do love the look of them. It says in the SWF description that they like a lot of rockwork and perch in overhangs and such. Did it swim around in the open or through the rockwork or was it more stationary and hiding?

i never really saw it perch under the rockwork except for in his cave/sleep area he would go in there and sleep, but for the most part he would be out around his home swimming around. (kinda like clowns they dont swim the whole tank they stay like i think it was 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet.
