Depends on what your into.
If you want puppy dog like, always ready to eat, and low maintenece...I'd go with a Lionfish. But not real active.
If you want to impress and stick feed, Eels, but they hide alot.
If you want activity, go with Tangs or Tusks.
If you want a single large colorful showpiece I'd go with a Large Angel.
Hope that helps.
Remember you can add some color and activity with a group of chromis or damsels to any one showpiece.

For a 140gal single species tank, I would go with triggers or volitans lions. A group of lions can be very spectacular, but not very active. A single large trigger would be very colorful and active, but it's hard to find one that is large enough to devote a whole tank to. I would buy juveniles of several species and raise them up together and then decide on which are your favorites and thin them out as they get larger. I personally would go with a large clown trigger and your 140 would be a great size for one.
single sepcies or single animal?
get a school of bannerfish. i think they're the sh*t!
yeah a clown trigger or somekind of puffer is probably best.
a small shark? not very active and you'd probably need a bigger tank soon.

for a single species tank I would choose a large angel... like mac's angel... or a trigger fish like clown trigger , which will be just like a oscar...recognizing you , moving the gravel or sand and being colorfull itself...
In a 140 gal tank... you can put both and enjoy an excellent tank with two jewels swiming to you...
