For a relatively new (3 months) tank with stable parameters what would be a good additional fish?

26 gal AIO

2 small black storm clownfish
1 diamond watchman goby
2 peppermint shrimp
1 emerald crab
CUC various snails and a tiger conch

Corals include:
Hammer
Sinularia
Several zoas
Pom Pom Xenia
GSP
Rock flower anemone

Parameters
pH 8.2
alk 7.8

Would a ruby red dragonette be okay?

The Watchman Goby is in the same zone you want to add Ruby Red to in a small tank.
I would look for a fish the occupies the upper portions of the system. Royal Gramma, Cardinals, Fire Fish or mellow Damsel types.

Thanks for the advice. Im thinking about a Springer damsel. Do you think it would fit in with the 2 clowns and 1 diamond goby?

Clowns might spat with the damsel for a little but it should work out as those are supposed to be chill.. mine wasnt and was a terrorist but each fish is different
