    Someone a while back had gotten a school of these and posted that they loved them Blue Reef Chromis (Chromis cyaneus) - don't know much about them but under the assumption they are similar to the green chromis in behavior and in a tank that size would be real cool IMO - I would get 10 or more if it were me :)

    I like my green chromis. They school nicely and are cheap and have a cool color. My clown even schools with them now. Also I was at my LFS the other day. He had some green chromis from Africa. They were huge! At least 3 times the size of a normal mature damsel. More expensive but pretty awesome.

    Also, I love the Anthias. I didn't go with them just because of the cost.

    I agree, I would go with 3 or 4 Heniochus Butterflies.
