-Lemonpeel Angelfish (my favorite but I no longer have one since they're not too reef-safe)
-Hawkfish of any kind (but not in a reef)
-Lawnmower Blenny (great personality and it eats algae as a bonus)

I also love my Springer's damselfish but it didn't make the list because I've only had it for seven months. For all I know, it'll turn into a monster.

Any kind of goby
McCosker's flasher wrasses
Puffer

Never had a tang or a clown. Never will have a clown. Might get a black tang when I get a bigger tank, but likely not. We both love puffers, so probably going to do a FOWLR someday for that. I've always had gobies, they just have so much personality! Loved my McCosker's, but tank is full now, IMO.

You can get great fish without having to spend a tax refund...sure, it's great to support the economy, but there are tons of great fish that aren't 'too' expensive...

At least one goby and one pair of clownfish has been and will be in every tank I have. Simple, yes but I like them
