Saltwater stock question

[Newbie Breeder]

Hello,

I would like to get my dad a fish for his 280gal saltwater tank, in the tank he has 2 pieces of coral, 4 yellow tangs, 1 wreath, 1 triggerfish, and 1 African Guinea fowl pufferfish. What fish could I get him that is colorful and nice for under $400?

Also I am looking to get a 70-100 gal saltwater set-up for myself, I was thinking small tropical coral tank. What fish and how may would be good?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

$400 is a big budget for a fish. Depends on what kinds of fish he likes.

For your tank, fish depend on what kind of coral you have. Some coral will be picked off and eaten, others do just fine with most fish.
