What would be some good fish suggestions for a 38 gallon bowfront that isn't a clownfish?
 
A helchi firefish is a favorite of mine if you don’t mind spending $100 on one fish.

Brackish or saltwater?

If it's Brackish a figure 8 puffer or a mudskipper

If it's saltwater then a kamohara blenny, pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby, possibly a dwarf fuzzy lion fish (might get slightly too big, may need to upgrade later on), mandarins, some seahorses (they require very advanced care though so I don't recommend it unless you are experienced), maybe some small wrasse

Are lionfish sold seasonlly? I've noticed nobody has any species of lionfish in stock at the moment.

No to Mandarin unless you get one that is eating prepared foods. Same for seahorses. Fuzzy dwarf would be fine .

Helfrichi firefish. Awesome! I had a breeding pair at one point. Unfortunately they have a larval state that doesnt work with tank filtration. I tried a ton of different things to make it work. The standard or red firefish is also a great choice.
One of mine.

I have about 4 pics left of my salt system I'm glad that is one of them. Such a beautiful fish in looks and nature.
A or a couple cleaner shrimp are cool too. Interactive and will pick your cuticles clean....:hitting:

Again one of mine.
Corals? No how about dwarf angel?
 
A dusky angelfish is absolutely beautiful and one of my favorite saltwater fish.
