I want to add a couple of fish to my 25 gallon tank. Something that is pretty easy to take care of with lots of colour!

Nice colour YELLOW,PINK, OR PURPLE!!

Can someone name a few different types has to be reef safe for the anemones and corals?

I have so far 2 blue chromis, 1 pep clown, 1 tomato clown, 1 Flame Hawk.

CHEERS
:beer:

whats a 'pep clown'? Looks like you are pretty full already.

Meant to say percula clown!! So you think I am pretty full!! Could I get away with say 2 more small fish!

Nope.

Although you might consider taking back the Tomato clown and the Flame Hawk. Both of these are going to get fairly large; the Tomato is going to be aggressive, especially with your Percula and the Flame Hawk more than likely will eat any shrimp you might want to have in the tank.

If you take them back, you could add a couple of fish. Firefish, 6-line wrasse, Royal Gramma, yellow or green clown goby. All of these stay smaller and are reef friendly. You could add more than one firefish, but the others are one per tank.

Something to think about.

yeah i wouldnt have more than 5 fish in a 25g tank. sw fish require more room/space than fw fish do. you cant overstock like you can in fw.

and ditto what alice said about the clowns and flame hawk

Yeah I guess I would have to agree with Alice, but some small fish to consider: Dottybacks, red headed gobies, neon gobies. My son has a 10 gal nano reef with an orchid dottyback and a domino damsel and is having a red headed goby on hold for him. Of course he uses a 20 gal refugium and a 10 gal sump for a 10 gal nano.

Derm, trade the tomato and the flamehawk for smaller fish. I wouldn't want to be the little perc when the tomato starts to get ugly. If you get rid of the flamehawk you can add a fire shrimp - great color and fun to watch. The other suggestions you got are great too.

I 'second' the vote for the Red-headed Goby. They're colorful little fish and also a 'cleaner' species, so they'll play doctor with your other fish.
They also have some of the spookiest eyes I've seen on a fish... almost like something alien. IIRC they only get around 1-1/2-2" long so you won't have to worry about it outgrowing your tank.
This will probably the next fish I purchase for my 55g reef.

Oops... I guess I stand corrected. I thought I had seen that Redhead gobies were a cleaner species, but according to an article at reef central they aren't.
