Personally I think you're missing some fairy wrasses. Go with slightly more aggressive species like the cebu pylei fairy (Cirrhilabrus briangreenei) and the pink headed fairy (Cirrhilabrus chaliasi). A larger group of smaller damsels like azure (Chrysiptera hemicyanea), green spot (Neopomacentrus azysron), gold belly (Pomacentrus auriventris) or even green chromis (Chromis viridis) would also look very nice, while adding relatively little bioload.

Niger triggers are also an excellent choice. This is my new guy coming on Saturday morning from NY Aquatic.

Thank you, already have 2 wrasse and heard damsels are aggressive? Love to have a trigger but might be a conflict with my shrimp?

Niger are usually (not always) good with shrimp. The damsels I listed are pretty peaceful. I have a lot of different damsels in various tanks (feel free to check out all my build threads for inspiration). All of them are less aggressive species, especially if added towards the end of the stocking of a tank (like your scenario). And you can never have enough wrasses. Just ask anyone in the Wrasse Lover's Thread here on Reef2Reef.

And welcome to Reef2Reef!

I noticed you dont have a blenny! Blennies have a ton of personality. Midas is my favorite, then a lawnmower blenny! I highly recommend one of these guys, they are peaceful so it wont mess your tank up
