I have a 75g mixed reef. Jumping is not a concern (I've screened off all possible openings). I want movement and color, but trying to avoid the usual fish that are in most tanks. If possible, I'd like a grouping of fish, but all of what I've looked at tend to pick each other off over time. Any suggestions welcome (except Anthias... Don't say Anthias [emoji23]). I currently have:

1 Flame Hawkfish
1 Sleeper Goby
3 Blue Star Leopard Wrasses

1 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Harlequin Shrimp

Very last I'd like to add a Tomini Tang.
 
As long as u don't mind price I would look a higher end wrass like flame wrass for example grate colore and vary active after they get a custom to your tank.
 
Skunk tilefish, although sourcing a few at the same time may be difficult. Decompression/swim bladder problems can also be an issue. If you can get a healthy few, they would look amazing and enjoy each other's company. Purple tilefish are also pretty, but apparently do not get along as well.

On the cheaper end, a group of blue gudgeon gobies would be cool.
 
A group of garden eels would look great.

Only issue with blue gudgeons is that they can be shy and skittish.
