    flame angel would be great. they are very pretty and colorful and have great personalities! As said above, they can nip corals.

    I have the same exact (almost - yellow-tail damsel) fish as you do in addition to a Persian blenny (midas) and a spotted-tail blenny. The order I have added them is as follows:

    1- Two yellow-tail blue damsels
    2- Persian blenny (I had to take out the bigger blue damsel and return it to the lfs 'cause he was bullying my blenny too much)
    3- Two percula clowns
    4- Spotted-tail blenny
    5- Green clown goby

    They all seem to get along just fine with occasional chasing of the spotted-tail by the other blenny, but mostly in a playful manner. Mine is a 47G upright with about 50 lbs of LR. I have a blue sea fan which has not been doing well, a clove polype, a small colony of blue zoanthids, a rose anemone, and a ricordea mushroom. I have a bunch of hermit crabs and margarita snails and Nassarius Snails.
