I've got a 60 gallon cube and when I aquascaped I made lots of caves and holes for fish to swim through. I've got a pair of clownfish and a bicolor blenny in the tank now. The clownfish just swim around the outer perimeter of the tank and my blenny obviously chills on the rocks a lot. I'm looking for some suggestions of any cool fish that like swimming around and through the live rock and caves that my tank is large enough to house? Bright colors are a bonus. I'm only going to have 4 or 5 fish total in the tank so down to last 1 or 2 additions. Thanks!
What types of fish like swimming through caves in live rock?

Any of the dottybacks, though many can be aggressive. The genus Liopropoma of basslets also do.

Yellow assessor(Assessor flavissimus) it will spend most of time in and around the rockwork. A cool trait is that it swims upside down too. Mine comes out in open water for feeding time.

Bristle tooth tang in a 60g? Really?

Sunburst anthias would be perfect. Royal gramma or blackcap bassslet would also work well.

I just got a springeri dottyback and they like to cruise rock work and caves one of the less aggressive dottbacks from what i have researched.
Also a favourite would be royal gramma

My flame angel and my cherub angel constantly swim through the passages in my rock. I have a goby that lives in the rock, but these 2 fish are the only that consistently swim through the passages in the rock. Colorful to boot.
