I have a 35 gl, long profile tank reef tank. The tank dimensions are 36 x 17 x 18". There is a 6” sump/refugium across the back so the actual “tank” area is 12” in width.

Currently I have 1 - lawnmower blenny (my favourite), 1- blue/green chromis and 1- neon green dwarf clown goby.

I would like to add one or two more fish with colour. As much as I love my lawnmower he blends into the rock . The dwarf goby spends most of its time playing in the rock work. Any suggestions?

I have also attached a picture of the tank just to give you an idea of the dimensions.

Some colorful options would include a royal gramma, firefish, sunburst anthias, grammistes blenny, or a flasher wrasse.
 
In a tank your size anthias can be risky. You have to feed them 3 times a day and they wont be happy with such little swimming room.

Sunburst anthias aren't active, open water swimmers.
