I think that a BiColor Angel is a good choice.

Any of the dwarf angels should work.

Another option is a fairy wrasse. These have nice color but they can get kind of expensive. Also very active, peaceful, hardy.

do you know the dimensions of the tank off hand? I would think that a hex would be alot higher with less lateral swimming room, which may not be all too good for a dwarf angels especially with two clowns, but thats just my opinion

 

[Mushroomman]

Yes as occ said how much horizontal room is there? If not enough there might be squabbles.

 

[aresgod]

as long as there is enough vertical rock work the dwarf angel should have a good time and not fight with the clown et al

A coral beauty is somewhat easier to get feeding than a bicolour. Bicolours in the US are reputed to be difficult

 

[S.Reef]

yeah agree with wayne.

tank

Yes the tank is much higher than it is wide. They have a biocolor angel fish at the store near me its young its so tempting but there very expensive at the store near me a damsel is 15.99 for 1 so i might just go to Seahorse (its a awasome store they have a huge tank with nurse sharks its near the P.A. Turnpike) I will look into coral beauty wayne

In a high tank a dwarf angel is not a good choice, except one ofthe 'dwarf dwarfs' like argi, acanthops, flavicaudala. They need to much swimming room
