    First of all, what is your budget? That will help in fish suggestions. Dwarf angels are definitely colorful and interesting additions with great personalities, whether you have corals or not. Sometimes it's worth taking the risk to try something different. Other than angels, I am partial to fairy wrasses. Most of the Cirrhilabrus species are very colorful, particularly the males, but there is a huge price range depending on which ones.

    Most dwarf angels are 50/50 with coral predation. It can really go either way. If you do decide on a dwarf, I'd recommend a flame (very fragile), a coral beauty, or a bicolor.
