Here are my favorite saltwater fish. Not giants but they are beautiful, thats why I like them. If I get back into saltwater tanks one day I'd have them in there.

Longnose Filefish <---if you haven't seen one, look on the net for a nice pic. They are awesome looking. Only thing is they feed on sps corals which are the corals I like to keep......

Moorish Idol

Purple Firefish

Mandarin Fish <---again, if you have not seen this fish, look for a pic. I think it would become your favorite fish!

Psychadelic fish

Mandarin fish are cool.

To keep them successfully, I highly recommend the following:

Set up your tank with live rock. Many mail order spots have coepopods (sp?) and other live sand kits that you can stock in your tank and they will reproduce on thier own. After around 6-12 months of establishing themselves, you can add a mandarin and he won't pick the tank clean so quickly that they can't keep reproducing. I have several friends who keep them with this method with a lot of success. Also, they don't do well in a tank with many fish, or anything remotely aggressive.
