Reef Safe Fish Recommendations

[geoffer]

I have recently setup a new 30 gallon aquarium which is going to contain primarily corals. I thought that I would maybe add one or tow fish and a Fire Shrimp. Does anyone have good recommendations of fish to add (other than Clown fish)?

A clown and a pygmy angel. Personally I liked my cherub pygmy angel, never bothered my corals.

you could get 1-maybe 4 fish in that tank depending on size and swimming requirements.
here are some ideas
clownfish
clown goby
firefish
diamond goby
jawfish (needs 3+ inch sand bed)
lawnmower blenny
pygmy angel- may have a chance at picking at some corals..
blackcap basslet or royal gramma
yellow wrasse or sixline wrasse
bangaii cardinals
like any of those?

You could get a fireball angel... they're a little more expensive (about $60) but they look incredible and are completely reef safe.
