Help me choose a new fish for my 75 reef!

[spoonman]

I recently lost my bicolor foxface and I need another fish for my 75 reef. I have a pair of black saddleback clowns, a coral beauty, tomini tang, 2 green chromis, a fire shrimp, and a cleaner shrimp. Has to be reef safe, I have a bunch of corals. Was thinking about another foxface, but might go with another idea if something strikes me. Give me some ideas!

didn't even know there was such thing as a bicolor fox face, they look awesome. As far as suggestion goes I would say a blenny or goby. I have a starry blenny and he is very cool, gboy and nunu have an engineer goby and that thing is sweet.

Mystery wrasse or lubbock's fairy wrasse.

 

[spoonman]

Wow! Big price difference! Both beautiful fish.

 

[JustinKBreen]

Lol I've found a mystery wrasse at my lfs for 50 dollars. Cheapet than the 79 I saw for sale on line.

Thats why I suggested both, don't know your budget.

 

[spoonman]

I could do the mystery, would just have to see them and compare to see if the difference is worth it.

I love foxfaces, but i dont think i would get 2. Haha if you want an active fish i would get a pair of anthias! I love lyretail anthias...

Midas Blenny. Gives my tank a whole new look. They swim like an eel.

I vote for a fairy or flasher wrasse. That group of fish is my favorite. Look at Carpenter's, McCosker's, and orange back, and exquisite to name a few I like.

You might also consider cardinalfish. I like Bangaii and PJs. There are several other species out there as well.

Unfortunately, I lost my bicolor. No trace of him. I am thinking maybe my carpet nem is a stone cold killer. I am missing 3 of my 5 chromis and my bicolor foxface.

Just a few suggestions:

Multi-barred Angel
Heniochos
Various butterflies are available
Flasher wrasse
Mandarin goby
Firefish goby
Anthias
Six line wrasse

Butterflies and angels for the most part are not reef safe.

There are a few that are reef safe and there are some that need to be monitored.

Really sorry about the fox Tim. Thats pretty rough. If i suspected a nem of eating my Todd..it would be gone in NO time!! Im sure kd would do the same haha

Personally, i'd get another fox. Like a magnificant, or onespot. But if you want to change it up..i'd do dragon wrasse, or leopard wrasse

Good call Gboy! Bought a one spot today (acclimating as we speak) and they are ordering a leopard wrasse that could be here Wednesday. I like the way you think!
