I have a red sea 350(heavy sps), it's been up for 7 months and have recently moved all my sps, corals are looking a bit pale, so I want to increase the biomass for nutrient reasons. I was thinking of adding another yellow tang, but not sure on the others, I think 1 fish per 10 gallons is good, so I need 4 more. What do you guys think I should add?

Current stock:
x1 Yellow tang
x2 naked clowns
x1 six lined wrasse
x1 black with yellow tailed damsel
 
Yellow tangs are pretty territorial I’d be hesitant in having two in a 75. How big is your 6line? If he’s friendly for a 6line you could get a wrasse or two, lots of color and personality.
 
He's fairly small , maybe as long as a pinkie finger? He can be mean, originally I wanted to get rid of him and add a couple yellow wrasses.
 
All of your current fish fall under the “semi-aggressive” category... so I’d probably try to stick with other fish that can hold their own.

One-spot foxface, Tomini or Kole tang, flame hawkfish, marine betta, maybe a dwarf angel if you don’t have clams, or fleshy LPS that you are overly attached to...as they can nip and irritate corals.

If you didn’t have the sixline, you’d have a few more options with wrasses, blennies, basslets, etc.
 
If I remove the six line , could I add like 3 yellow wrasses ?

No, it’s not usually good to have multiples of the same species in a smaller tank. Meaning less than 175gals
