Looking for a last fish suggestion

In the tank listed below I have:
2 ocellaris clowns (about 1.25")
1 lawnmower blenny (about 1.5")
1 yasha goby (about 1.25") (only seen at feeding time :dong:)
2 peppermint shrimp
1 emerald crab
various snails and small to tiny hermits
various SPS and LPS frags

I would like to add one more fish in the future (next month or so). Obviously I want something small and friendly to reef and other fish, but I would like something that will stay up in the water column a little more. I think something fast and bright moving around would cap off the display. I know I am probably pushing the bioload a little, but I am doing weekly water changes and everything is looking great. Thanks in advance for your help! :pop2:
 
How about a flametail blenny, Chalk Bass or a Purple Firefish? I'll be putting mine up for sale as soon s they are done with their QT.
 
hmm.. in my opinion u should probably not get another fish.. maybe get an invert or two like a BTA if ur tank can handle it or some cleaner shrimp.. But if u really want a fish.. i like the sixline wrasses.. they may or may not be aggressive it just really depends on the personality of the fish..

Can I get an opinion on a pygmy (cherub) angel. I received conflicting opinions on their reef safety and LA says "with caution", but it seems like they are pretty conservative. Since my love-at-first-sight buy (I know impulse is a no no) was thwarted tonight by a missing sticky, I'll take the time to do a little more research. Anyone have experience with this fish?

You got the Pygmy!!!

I'd love to have one but I don't want to risk my corals.

I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed, but so far this one is doing great with the buffet I serve. (ova, brine and rods mix) Hopefully I can keep it interested in that.

Nice! Is that the one I had on hold for me?

no that one, sadly, did not live. This one came in from LA yesterday and I took it straight home still bagged. Seems to have worked pretty well (don't scold me for not having QT, I'm a gambler)

I was thinking about getting myself one of these.. But, they're just not my type. Lol.

After all of the searching I did for this last fish (Hopefully) I just couldn't find something that I liked more. The firefish was definitely at the top of the list, but they're sort of similarly shaped as my Yasha and Lawnmower. We nano owners need to be very selective I guess;)

Our options are definitely reduced.. Lol. Yeah, they are really similar shaped, but I like them. I have no idea what I'm getting.
