What are the most colorful fish one can put in a reef tank?
compatible of course..

Percula Clowns and Blue Damsels

I really like my purple fire fish. They are meek little guys and can really drop a jaw with their color.

Purple queen antheas

IMO, purple/bluish tinted fish blend too much with my coraline covered rocks (coral beauty here). Blue damsels are mean SOB's after time, trust me on that one. Green chromis in a small school of 3 would add color and are alot nicer. If I could catch my coral beauty, I would replace with a flame angel, and cross my fingers that it is a good one. Angels are a 50/50 chance. How old is your tank and what do you have now?

i love my blue hippo, and hes reef safe

 

[fishman830]

damsels = devils

I think that royal gamma's are reef safe too.

Most fish have extrodinary color. I have never seen a SW fish that had bland boring color. Even lionfish have awesome color and patterns. Just llook around on the web or in a big book of SW hobby fish and find what you like. BTW royal grammas are reef safe.

Mandrians, clowns, "reef safe" wrasses, one of the smaller tangs(kole or yellow), Pseudochromis, Gobies, Bleenies, lots of stuff.

There are lots of options...but I like my combination of a single tomato clown/coral beauty/hippo tang/foxface lo/lawnmower blenny...there are a few others I'd like to consider but first I seriously need a larger display.

I'm withdrawing my suggestion for a blue damsel. I'm finding out my velvet damsel is responsible for my clowns deaths a few weeks ago. He's a bully. I just sat about 20 feet from my tank and watched to see why my new clowns were in the corner. The little bast. was chasing them there. He's gone if I can catch him - a big if. I won't be able to add fish until he's gone. Clowns are out now and in my 10 for now. I had a 10 with just LR in it and thats where they'll stay I guess.

my vote goes to purple firefish, very good looking fish and fun to watch, ours is a huge pig, will eat anything and everything in sight

 

[zibnata]

Blackcap Basslet. Looks better in person

 

[flamewrasse03]

I think we already know why my favorite fish is

 

[spsfreak100]

The most colorful fish, in my opinion, would be the Blue tang (P. hepatus).
