Selecting fish for SPS tank

Other than chromis that I alway seem to find on SPS tank, any other suggestion ?

Obviously I am trying to find some fish that do not bother the corals or have tendencies to perch on corals that will eventually irritates them.

So let me hear your stocklist..

Also this is a BB tank, so anything that digs, burry or get their food from the sands are out of the question.


thanks in advance,

stan

Got a fish just recently that I had never seen before. It was recomended due to a dictyota algae outbreak. The two barred scribbled rabbit fish is a beautiful fish and grazes just as much or more than any Tang I have owned.

The Flame Hawk is a must have, despite the fact that they perch.
