Default Stocking Suggestions - looking or that "last fish"

So I am looking for that one (or maybe two) last fish to add to my aquarium.

Currently I am lightly stocked but want to keep it that way. My tank now has a mix of softies, LPS and SPS since my upgrades to T5 and zeo.

My current stocklist as follows:

1 - Purple Tang
1 - Regal Tang
1 - Six-line Wrasse
1 - Sleeper Goby
2 - B&W Ocellaris Clownfish
1 - Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1 - Blue Tuxedo Urchin
1 - Red Starfish


I'm just not sure what else to add?

- Butterflies and Angels are out as I don't want to risk nipping.
- I love Tangs but 2 in a 90 is more than enough already
- I have thought about schooling fish, chromis, anthias etc, but a 90 is kind of small for a decent school.
- Benggai Cardinals? Perhaps but not a very active nor colourful fish

Thanks for the advice and input.

I've actually considered both firefish and wrasses in the past. There are indeed a number of really beautiful wrasses that seem to be readily available.

My only concern with both fish is their ability bu nature to jump.

My tank is open top with my tek light about 6 inches above the top of the eurobrace. Chances are that they would jump, hit the light, get deep fried Kentucky Fried Chicken style and then drop back in the tank

(My sixline jumped from my tank when I had MH over it and ended up on the floor, I was close by and got him back into the tank and performed fish CPR.. he survived but has been mentally retarded since:P)

On rimmed tanks I had in the past I used eggcrate about the tank but have yet to find an effective or somewhat attractive cover to a eurobraced tank

Royal gramma? I have a female in a 28 gallon and she seems to be very peaceful. Or maybe a dottyback?
