Currently I have a 40 gallon long mixed reef tank housing 6 fish.
*2 chromis
*1 yellow silver belly wrasse
*1 pj cardinal
*wheelri prawn goby with pistol shrimp
*starry blenny
I am planning on giving away the pair of chromis and is looking for a fish or two that are colorful, and active fish.
Thinking on maybe a dwarf angelfish like a coral beauty or a flame angel but I am not sure I want risk it with the corals. Any suggestions?

I had a coral beauty in a 60 before. Didn’t touch my corals but it can be hit or miss. My coral beauty was the best fish, super active and always out swimming so I’d go with that!

With a Silver Belly, I would add another species of wrasse.
I would go for either a Wetmorella species or a Pseucheilinops ataenia. These do require rather detailed rocks to hide in though so just be warned about that.
