Good evening, I have a 220 gal tank, 6 ft long, currently I have
3 chromis
2 midnight clownfish
4 anthias
1 mandarin goby
1 filefish
1 blue tang

They’re all 2” or less and seem to get along well. Looking for recommendations to add has plenty or rock and coral and hiding places

You could put a few tangs in there. Maybe a white spot and a yellow. Just be aware that filtration matters even in a tank that large. Your pretty lightly stocked now. Just depends on of you have a good (excellent) skimmer and maybe an algae scrubber.

I have a protein skimmer, and a 55 gallon sump in the basement
 
Any fish would be proud to swim that pile of rocks! Lol.

Are you looking for fish that will stay on the small size, or do you want some larger fish as well? I think that will decide much of your master plan going forward. Certainly a Harlequin Tusk could be cool.
