Cool! That's definitely along the lines of what I was looking for... my clowns do that a little and my angel finally stopped getting spooked every time I walk in the room but a fish with some character would definitely be refreshing haha

quick update
Here's a FTS:
Tank is looking too yellow for me so I think I'm going to put in another blue bulb, not sure what temp rating yet, I'm open to suggestions, I'd like to keep the tank somewhat light (read I don't want a deep blue colored light haha)55g Long --> After 18mo of doing well the tank crashed during moving.

honestly mate, if you add a single blue bulb as an extra it'll not suddenly turn the whole lot blue. it'll just take the yellow off.
I added 4 24w T5's that are about as blue as blue gets and it's just crisped the white up a bit.Used to try and keep track of my fish here.....

You don't want too much of white/yellow of a coral tone in your tank. That is the color tone that marine algae just loves.
I would a consider/try a few combinations of super blue and Figi purple with you existing white bulb.
That might work without making it too blue for youIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

A friend of mine has a 4 bulb T5 setup with 3 Actinics and a 18k violet bulb in over his tank, and surprisingly, it doesn't really look all that blue, but it looks great.
