What fish should I get?

I currently have two percs (clownfish) in my 29 gallon reef. I wanted to put a purple firefish in with them, but I've been reading that they are jumpers and I don't want to have to put some type of hood on the tank.
Any suggestions for a cool fish w/personalitly that is NOT a jumper?????

I have a 29g with 2 clownfish also. I was thinking of putting in a Six-line wrasse in my tank. Maybe you should consider one of those.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was just doing some reading and it seems that they might make a nice addition. :)

I have purple firefish in my tank --- they have never tried to jump out. If you have plenty of LR, they will just dart in the rocks, not out of the tank.
Just make sure you put a lid on the bucket you are acclimating them in! I forgot to - and sure enough they did jump out of the bucket!
But all was fine and they're happy in my tank and I love the addition!

I actually had a firefish and he jumped out. I had an eggcrate light cover covering the top of the tank. The square holes were about a 1/4 inch big. He managed to get out. I probably won't buy another one because I don't want to chance another one jumping out.
