Which do you like thw best? The foxface is probably the best showfish, or some type of expensive tang like a purple, chevron, etc

I'd go Foxface. I had one and they're really great fish. They definitely stand out. And they're venomous. Anytime you tell anyone that, they're even more intrigued.

I have a Foxface. I think they are great. He is very active. He gets along well with others and they all know to keep away when he raises his spines.

I'd pass on the Achilles Tang. We won't be adding one until we build the 1800+ gal tank. Size and areas of strong current keep this fish healthy. We have 9 tangs in our 450. A Blonde Naso would look good and hold its own with the Purple. I have an Orange Shoulder thats beautiful and loves to graze. It would do well also. As far as the rabbit fish go, the Magnificent is one of my favorites.

The naso would get too big........ And te Achilles can be very difficult. What do you mean by reef safe? Coral safe? Or coral/invert safe?

The Naso probably would get too big after about 5 yrs. If you don't plan on getting a bigger tank, stick with the smaller fish.
