Hello,

Below is my current stock and the tank feels empty. I am looking for some advice on adding some fish to my existing setup.

Watanabei Angelfish 4" Female
Yellow Tang 3"
Tomini Tang 3"
Melanarus Wrasse 3.5"
Yellowstriped Cardinalfish 2.5"
Royal Gramma 2"
Watchman Goby 1.5"
2x Clowns 2.5"

I feed frozen 1 time a day most days and 2x when i can. I have an auto-feeder setup to feed pellet during the day when i am at work. I wouldn't mind some anthias but I feel like they wouldn't get enough food.

Added a photo below of some of the fish if it helps with sizes.

The Watanabei is I would say the boss of the tank where i have seen her intervene and almost swim between fish that are being slightly aggressive and she will chase the wrasse sometimes but never to the point of biting just a quick little (get out of here) .

The Tomini tang has been aggressive to other tangs added to the tank but an acclimation box seems to have solved that.

How about more royals or a green and yellow clown goby

Can I get away with adding another one ? or maybe a black cap basslet ?
 
How about some fang blennies? Very active. I have kept a striped and harptail together without issue in a 40 breeder. Probably wouldn’t keep a Blackcap and Gramma together. Ive seen people with a pair of grammas.
