    I think these need a tank that's a bit older than mine.

    Well not necessarily. They're pretty hardy dwarf angels...but if you want to get one in a smaller tank, they have to be the last things to go in, because they are a tad aggressive to anything new. ESPECIALLY other dwarf angels. That's what we are planning on with our setup. Get 2 or more other fish, and then goes in the Coral Beauty. So, in theory, you would be adding a dwarf angel to an older tank if they are the last fish to go in.

    I'm not a fan of shy fish. Especially if they like to jump. Our goby is shy enough, you gotta go with something that has a little more umph to it. I say wrasse.

    sixline wrasse, very hardy, always swimming and although they are common they are always the first fish noticed by "non-reefers" that look into my setup. They also sometimes will eat parasites and flatworms.
