I'm looking to add a yellow fish to my tank I have a 55 gallon with a diamond goby, purple fire fish, Melanurus and clown. I have two small zoas and brain and leather corals. I've had the tank for a year and half the clown and fire fish has been in the tank the hole time the other two 6-8 months thanks for the help.
 
Yellow Watchman Goby / Pistol Shrimp pair
Yellow Coris Wrasse (would need to check tank size compatibility/etc.)

We have both and they are awesome.
 
Clown gobies are cute but if you want something active I don’t think they’re for you. Some good yellow dwarf angels, if you can provide for one.
 
Lemon damsel would work and they are captive bred. I have a pair and they do spawn. Watch out though, they can be territorial with hands in their tank. :) They do not seem to bother my others and were added first really.
Midas blenny also a good choice.
 
Starcki damsel

I had a Melanurus and a Yellow Coris in a 4' 75g. After about a year the melanurus bullied the coris too much
 
Lemonpeel Angels (and Pygmy angels in general) are notorious for picking at lips corals, so they probably wouldn’t be a good fit.

You can do a yellow molly fish! Common, cheap, and excellent algae eaters. Acclimating them to salt isn’t too difficult either. Get a group and you’ll see both lots of activity and plenty of fry.
 
+3 for the YWG
That is hands down my favorite fish in the tank.
I also saw Yellow Lyretail Anthias recently - so pretty.
 
Love my silver belly wrasse. Very similar to coris. Amazing fish
