Schooling fish would be great.

Schooling fish don't tend to work out well in our tanks, unless you can recreate its enviorment almost exactly but in a large glass tank. Anthias, for example, tend to need an aggressive fish to keep them schooling. This is because they then focus on schooling and keeping them safe, rather than fighting with eachother. Your tangs may act as this aggressive fish in your tank.

As for new additions, there are lots of nice wrasses. The yellow coris wrasse is one of them, and also helps keep pests like certain flatworms and nudibranchs at bay.

Also, some flasher/fairy wrasses are stunning. However, they don't have the pest management benefit like the yellow coris wrasse and others alike.

Def wrasses like recommend above

+1 on the yellow Coris wrasse. It is super bright like a neon high liter. A fox face would probably work well with that group of fish. I have one in my 100 and 180 and they are great model citizens. Agree on the fairy wrasses as well.. lots of colorful options.

Scissor tail/zebra barred/blue dudgeon dart fish will group up, and look good doing it!
