What are some relatively peaceful fish I could add that are coral-safe?

Tank: Waterbox Infinia 150
Corals: softies, zoas, etc
Current inhabitants: Foxface, 1 Bartlett's anthia, 1 two spot goby, 1 yellow clown goby, 1 blue chromis (not a very peaceful individual, killed his fellow chromis-i), juvenile naso tang, blood shrimp, 4 sexy shrimp, a brittle star, snails.

I like personality and movement.

Sand sifting gobies and firefish gobies only lasted a year at most. I have a tight fitting lid. Not sure if some big ole bristleworms got them or they starved despite looking healthy.

I've looked into the cirrhilabrus wrasse family, assessors, and stubby clowns. Whacha think?

melanurus (Hoeven's) Wrasse. Colorful, eats pests and fun to watch.

I renamed my Carpenters Wrasse "the wrasshole" on account of him chasing every fish in my tank for no reason.

edit: but still a fun fish!

What size tank, dimensions too. I don't know what size your tank is.
Assuming 150 gal,
Naso is too big for it. I would get smaller tangs. (Yellow or Purple)
I always like harem and pairs. Get a pair of Regal Angels, or a Harem of Flame angels (3-5), several Radiant Wrasses 92-3), A harem of Leopards, either Meleagris leopards or Black Leopards. Pencil wrasse too. I have Splendid Pencil Wrasse.
These are the fishes I really enjoy in my tank.
