    remind me how big your tank is please cbs3315?
    and also what is already established in there?

    as knowing these will be ideal when considering suitable colurful fish and helping avoid any conflict issues

    i have 115g. all the fish that i listed have been in there a little while. i know its difficult with the PBT as he gets teritorial but he did finally get along with the lemonpeel.

    Sorry, but what is a PBT? Peanut-butter and...? ;D

    you like the Lemon Peel Angel.

    Well why not the Mimic Lemon Peel Tang?

    with a 115 gallon you could certainly consider another Tang IMO
    just go for different body shape so any of the more rounded species like Yellow or purple should be OK

    Whats your algae situation like at present?

    a Rabbit fish or Foxface would also earn its keep if you have GHA at all

    Many species of Wrasse would also be good additions to that set up
    and there are many with plenty of great coloration

    check out Radient Wrasse, or any of the other reef safe wrasse

    Harlequin Tusk fish are very colourful IMO
