    My 30+ gallon tank currently has 2 oc clowns, and 1 orange stripe prawn goby paired with a pistol shrimp.

    1 RBTA

    1 Astrea Starfish (maybe 2 now I think it might of split but I only see it/them once a week or two)

    I have a pretty extensive cleanup crew 1 red mithrax crab, 4-5 blue legged dwarf hermits, 2 Narsarrius snails, 6 Astrena Snails, 8 Ceriths. Thinking of getting a few more Ceriths, maybe...

    I've planned all along to do a total of 4 fish. I knew I wanted a pair of Oc clowns. I knew I wanted a prawn goby. I don't know what to get for the last fish. I've perhaps overstudied this.

    I've looked at wrasses. I was convinced for a while I was going to go with a Cherub Pygmy Angel. I just don't know.

    Here's what I want: An active fish, that will swim around in the open water of my tank instead of "hanging out" in one spot like the goby, or sticking close to "home" like the clowns. My tank feels sooooo empty because of all the open space but no fish swimming around in it.

    I'd like it to be colorful. Blue's and Oranges maybe... because I love the Chicago Bears. Lots of color at least.

    I need it to be reef safe.

    I'm deseperate for a suggestions, I've been studying this very hard because it'll be the last fish and I want it to be the right choice. Thanks for the help!
