I have a 100 gallon saltwater reef tank and I want to add new fish that won't disrupt the environment. #reefsquad

when you say don't disrupt the environment do you mean
1. that they won't increase bioload or pick at corals
2. that they don't effect natural reefs
3. both
both? A friend of mine gave me their aquarium and i've been doing as much research as possible to make the best of it. Currerntly I have green star polyps, two clownfish, a royal gramma basslet, two shrimp, and a variety of crabs, snails, and sea stars.

I forgot to mention that I have been using this chart https://www.thatpetplace.com/articles/marine-compatibility-chart to see what is safe and what isnt. I am thinking of adding either butterfly fish or chromis fish

Butterfly fish are mostly not reef safe. There are a few that are ok but make sure you do more research into them before you add one. Chromis are OK but can be mean to their own. They can turn on their own until there is only one. Highlander style ;)

You could add a fairy wrasse or 2 but you will need a netted cover. Also could add a Bristle tooth tang, Kole, 2 Spot, or Tomini. A Hawk would work as well. Cardinals are mid tank swimmers and are usually out and about.

And Welcome to R2R ! ! !

Ok for fish that help the tank, utalitation ones are best such as tangs, blennys, foxface and wrasse I'm not sure on your tank size though
As for the environment captive bred options will help that
