    Do you mean you cant find any instock, or any you like?

    I'd reccommend a Falco Hawkfish

    Do you like dwarf angels? Any basslets? Yellow candy hogfish are cool. If you are up for a bit of a challenge, there are some cool anthias.

    +1 on liveaquaria.com +1 on the Hawk Be aware of the aggressive nature of the sixline you have.

    go tour some local reefer's tanks to see what catches your eyes... looking online or in a store doesnt tell you how the fish behaves in a reef. Try to think about it from a ecological standpoint: you have a "mini" foodchain in your aquarium; try to make as many links in the chain as you can by having fish that hold different spots on the chain

    Theres a few that I would love to have, such as a Niger trigger, but not really reef safe. I have a large CUC.
    I checked out liveaquaria and its awesome because it give very informative descriptions. The problem is finding stuff at the LFS. I have 2 here not counting petco.
