Fish that swim like centropyge bispinosa? (coral beauty)

[Reef_at_Sea]

Hello,

currently i have a centropyge bispinosa (coral beauty dwarf angel) in my tank.
& I just love the way it constantly swims around the tank and doesn't leave a single space undetected.

Are there any fish that are about the same size or a little smaller that have the same swim type?
I will check for myself if they fit in with my other fish.

Thanks in advance

you want something active?
Another centropyge might be trouble..
any of the swallowtails or
Maybe a dottyback or flasher wrasse …the swim different bu5 might meet the type of activity you are looking for

How big is the tank?

Possum wrasse have a similar pattern of traversing rocks but a very different swimming movement. They almost swim like they're dead floating in the current

How big is the tank?

50 g, Rectangular shape.

my yellowtail damsel used to follow my cb around the tank like a little brother. Not chasing, just following. Doesnt swim quite like that now that the cb is gone.

If it’s 3’ in length then look into the Prognathodes actuleatus, these swim similarly to Coral Beauties but dont harbour the aggression. They also are quite useful with their hunting habits.

Those look pretty cool!!
My full stocking list is:

2x clownfish (normal occelars)
1x sailfin/algea blenny
1x links goby
1x frimani basslet
1x pink streaked wrasse
1x coral beauty dwarf angel


Would this fish fit in in your opinion?

I would say yes as most of your fish will hang round the rockwork. Just be careful with the aggression risk, those butterflies are more robust but still sensitive to aggression.

My links goby is an ******* tbh, but only to specific fish ha.

Are longnose butterflies reef safe?

Are longnose butterflies reef safe?

Prognathodes species are more reef safe IME.

The actual ‘true’ Longnoses (Forcipiger species) I have found to be much more hit and miss. Mine only goes for very specific corals.

Good question
Allready answered i see.

But tbh, the whole "reef safe" thing was allready out the door when i added the coral beauty, i allready seen it nipping at some corals, no big nips yet tho.

Are they are more or less reef safe than a coral beauty or flame angel?
