Looking for some more additions for my 75g mixed reef tank

Current occupants
yellow tang
cherub angelfish
3 chromis
yellow coris wrasse
1 YWG
1 shrimp goby

The last thing I need is more yellow lol!
Some open water swimmers as well as some rock dwellers would be great too. Not sure how many more I can add but i'm thinking 3-5 more If possible.
Im open to any suggestions especially some that wouldn't be considered popular fish!

Feel free to throw in any coral suggestions too, the middle of my tank is pretty bare

Here are some possibilities that are not yellow:

Firefish goby or purple firefish.
Bangaii or Pajama Cardinalfish
Starry blenny or one of the other bristletooth blennies
Black cap basselet

a filefish would be a great idea, ive been thinking about a blenny but don't want to take the chance of it competing with the tang for grazing space

I don't know if its the same but I have a 75g tank and I have a blue eyed kole tang along with a midas blenny, a bi-color blenny, and a foxface. Now my tank has macroalgae in it so there are a lot of greens to go around plus the nuisance algae.

I could probably add another algae grazing fish for sure after hearing about your success, I'm sure the tang will be peaceful as he's never bothered anything, I think my angel would harass another grazer though as he has already taken out a Midas and small fox face before. Maybe it's just the yellow he doesn't like
 
Could I possibly add another tank? maybe a tomini or blue eye kole
Do you have an acclimation box? It might help to put aggressors in time out for a few days. I would not expect the yellow tang to want the same greens as a kole or tomini since they are detritivores more than herbivores. But who knows what goes on in the mind of a fish? So there is always risk.
