+1 on Genicanthus angels, the only angel I would trust in a mixed reef. I've had a pair or Bellus angels for years, nice fish. Also look at pyramid or zoster butterflies. If you can find them, schooling bannerfish (heniochus diphreutes) are reef safe, but you need to make sure you are getting true diphreutes and not acuminatus. Wrasses are nice, but without sand you need to provide a way for them to sleep, like lots of nooks and crannies in rocks.

Not all wrasses need sand, most do and I wouldn’t keep those species without a sand bed as it can potentially stress them out too much.
