I am looking for a good fish to add to my tank community. I already have two PJ cardinals and one roal gramma. I would like a fish with a good personality, but would not terrorize my coral banded shrimp, fish, Atlantic anemone, sea star, and my yellow polyps and turbo grazers.

what sized tank??
Yeah, what size tank do you have? An Algae Blenny has great personality, won't bother anything, and can fit into any tank larger than 20 or 30g. HTH

Pygmy angels are always a good choice, most are hardy and are very active swimmers.

A yellow watchman gobie is always a good choice. They just kind of "hang out" and watch everything else.

Twin Spot Hogfish - it has a great personality, out in the open alot and wont bother a thing. I gets to 4 inches.
Dwarf Angels are a great choice indeed. Just one in your tank other wise they'd fight, but there are so many species out there that one of them has to fit your taste/budget. The only drawback to dwarfs is that all of them are hit-or-miss when it comes to being reef-safe. They won't bother inverts, just possibly corals and/or clams. HTH

Ditto on the pygmy angels. They're gorgeous, have interesting behaviors, and many of them are ok in reefs. My favorite was a little flame angel I bought whose color wasn't quite as bright as most people like, so I got a pretty good deal on him. That little guy was hardy as can be and lived a long life, keeping me entertained for hours.
