    wrasse and fox face or rabbit fish are nice. chromis,anthias, and angel\butterflyfish can be nice. some aren't reef safe though ...

    Purple and Chocolate tangs get way too big for your tank.10 inches. I would stick with some kind of bristletooth tang in a tank your size.Even those would be borderline IMO.
