    Radiant Wrasse, Vroliks Wrasse... :) (Vrolik is safe but may eat small shrimp and tubeworms and dusters)

    Are you looking for something different per say drew? Unique maybe is a better word?

    Look at Lamark's Angelfish. Genicanthus species are reef safe.

    Well, seeing the tanks a 55G That makes it even harder. You could house some of the fishes I think I have in mind, but Not long term. (over a few years)

    Other fish that might work are well... Expensive (over 150$).. So not sure what your general budget is.
