    I am looking for a nice centerpiece for my 30g marine tank. The tank will consist of a clean up crew, 2 mated True Percula Clowns and a couple of Damselfish. Anyone have any ideas?

    what damsel fish? IMO I would stay away from damsels. But maybe a Royal Gramma or Orchard Dottyback?

    I was thinking about a blue sapphire damselfish but I'm definitely open to suggestions, going to take my time with this tank and leave plenty of time for research. but for the centerpiece I was thinking about a dwarf angelfish.

    Have you looked into firefish? Next trip to the LFS I'm picking one up if they're there. Damsels can be aggressive from what I'm told. I always stay away from them.

    I may buy a firefish but it really isn't the kind of centerpiece I was looking for. Following the 1 large 2 medium 3 small rule I have the medium set with th clown fish and I was thinking about a dwarf angel as the large.

    I would just get 5 fish, maybe a fang blenny would be nice.

    +1 Blennies are always cool... A dwarf angel might be a little aggressive IMO.

    Usually dwarf angels, if put in the right tank ( good tank mates, large enough, fed well, added last. ) aggression shouldn't be a problem.
