I already have a goby, the Gramma's are nice but i think they look mean. I want an active fish that will swim in and out of the live rock. i was think about a sixline wrasse or a Reef Safe Angle of some sort.

...or an Orchid Dottyback will do the trick. Great looking fish and well behaved for a dottyback!

...how about a Brilliant Wrasse. Don't get too big (5") and are active all of the time. 6 lines can be tempermental.

My bad...tis called a Radiant Wrasse (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=361). Mine is actually more purple-ish red than this one.

Not really a good picture. Much better looking in person.
