So I have over a year old 45g cube with two ocellaris clowns, a bicolor blenny, and a small yellow coris wrasse. Have been debating adding another fish.

I was thinking something really unique and not seen in tanks often. A centerpiece fish would be nice, but I know I'm limited on size. I'm not really wanting a sandsifter or burrowing goby, been there and good on corals being moved or buried.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Very cool fish! Looked a little into them just now, but not much out there on a quick search. Similar to a barnacle blenny. Maybe a little too small for what I'm wanting since it only gets 2" and also curious if it requires cooler temp since it's from the Caribbean.

I have a similar size tank and have not finished stocking so i am excited to see some suggestions. I know you already have a wrasse but many of the Flasher wrasse are beautiful, stay fairly small though.

Ya know, I love wrasses, probably some of my favorite fish. I just wasn't sure of aggression issues with the tank size and all with there being a wrasse already in there. I don't know if they're particular to their own genus or what.

If you have two males, they will display against each other a lot more often and give you a great show of colors. Flasher wrasses are docile and will not engage in fighting as long as they are of different species.
