Recommendations for a peaceful colorful fish for a 30 gallon? I prefer a fish that does not swim a lot but just meanders around and also doesn't hide all the time. I have a firefish and a royal gramma already. I've thought about a mandarin but not sure I could keep him fat and happy. Also, I have a diamond goby and don't want conflict with another bottom dweller. Any suggestions?

Orchid dottyback is also an option, but they're more aggressive. Sixline wrasses are nice looking, but can also be aggressive, depending on the fish. Mine is well behaved.

Royal Gramma. Have one in my buocube and it is very peaceful. My clownfish actually bully it a little bit sometimes. Bought it at about 1" in June of 2020, it has grown to about 3" now.

Missed that you already said you had a Royal Gramma. My bad. What about a clownfish, Flame Angel, or Coral Beauty?
