This is what's in my reef, that's why I didn't recommend anything from my collection; I know it's not up your alley, other than the small mimic tang But here's an example of a reef safe wrasse "show fish":http://m.liveaquaria.com/divers-den...cotts-velvet-fairy-wrasse-terminal-phase-male
The only time I have problem with my HT is when I add small fish. If you not careful, you just give him an expensive meal. So far mine have never bother any of my animals that is in the tank, other than tiny snails. It the AM, when he get up, any of the tiny snails that are straggler an not in hiding yet are his breakfast. I have a hitchhiker pistol shrimp that been popping in my tank, not bother anybody. I still hear the popping sound after 5 years so I assume he is still there in the rock. Another smaller hitchhiker crab that I still see often. My cleaner shrimp pair still there after a few years.
I just got back after 1 week, tank sitter just feed the tank every three days and only once that day. Everybody still there. I half expect to miss my cleaner shrimp but no problem.
So I guess that you will not have problem with the pistol shrimp get eaten.

Oh yeah in my area I get them for $50 all day everyday.
The perfect showfish in a large aquarium is definitely a Flaming prawn Goby. You buy it for $100 USD and it disappears. It eats left overs so it's alive but now it's a myth. It's a show when you see it lol. Never mind that. Get a Lineatus Supermale or PinTail Supermale. Really nice fish!
Beautiful lyretail male anthias! The purple coloration is my favorite (over the red).Powder blue tangs do not acclimate well to captivity compared to other tangs mainly because ppl are not aware of the care level. Even experts have a difficult time keeping them alive for long terms.. Not saying it can't be done most of it comes down to finding the right fish and putting in a large tank, not overcrowding, and feeding right.
My old tank is still setup its got a yellowtang and hippo tang (both are 10 year old).
My system after adding fish..
LOL
I'll check out those wrasses for sure
Eh, I decided to skip on them myself after researching more about their tendency to murder sometimes
