I have a somewhat new 90g tank (4') and moved a few fish over from my previous nano tank and have purchased a few others. They are all doing well so I'm looking for any advice/suggestions on what else to add to this tank that is going to be predominantly SPS.

So far I have:
One Spot Foxface (small, ~1.5-2 inches)
Two clowns (paired ocellaris, also small)
'Christmas' wrasse (small, female H. Claudia)
Pintail/Splendid Fairy Wrasse (male)
Yellow Fin Flasher Wrasse (P. flavianalis, male and currently most dominant fish in tank)
King Midas Blenny
Diamond Goby (sand clean-up duty)

Inverts - Skunk Cleaner shrimp, Peppermint shrimp, couple red legged hermits, couple of emerald crabs, mix of nassarius and trochus snails)

Fish I'm considering adding (wouldn't be all of them):
Melanarus Wrasse
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
Lineatus Fairy Wrasse
Orchid Dottyback
Longnose Hawkfish

Any other ideas for reef safe fish that will thrive in a 90g? Thoughts on how many more should I add to my current stock?
 
Skip the Melanurus with another Halichoeres being established (your Christmas Wrasse) and the fact that Melanurus tend to be a bit more assertive. Any of the others should work. It's a gamble, but you could try a dwarf angel.
 
I don't know all that much about dwarf Angels...is there a specific species that would work well?

I'm partial to the Coral Beauty, I have one in my 90 gallon. I had a Flame, but he was a butthead to other fish and a nipper to boot.

I did a species spotlight on it here:
