    I vote for a Potters Angel & a Royal Gramma + if you can find a Bue Star Leopard Wrasse that's eating they're also awesome fish, I have all 3 of those in my tank. Make sure you have closed tops for most wrasses, I think Leopards are ok though & don't normally jump (at least mine doesn't).

    All Dwarf Angels will pick no matter what. Their personalities vary from fish to fish. In my experience, having a Flame Angel and now a Potters, they have behaved great. My reef is full of LPS, softies, and a clam. They pick occasionally but never damage anything. I can't comment on how they are with SPS, the only one I have is a Red Monti but neither has looked twice at it.

    The Blue Star Leopard & Potters are two of the prettiest fish IMO. Just make sure both are eating well at the LFS before you buy them. Both have a reputation for being very finnicky which could lead to a loss.
