Default Stocking suggestions

I'd like some suggestions on livestock for my setup. Here's the details:

- 65 gallon tank
- 80lbs live rock
- seio 1100 powerhead
- eheim 2217 cannister (single sponge inside, cleaned monthly)
- prism pro skimmer (bubbles turned off, just cycles water through carbon bag)
- 1 x crappy 22w light
- 3 x juvenile clown fish
- 1 x chocolate chip star fish
- I've managed to maintain excellent water quality without skimmer running (very small bio load)
- Tank has been up and running for 6 months

What I'm looking for:
- will get along with current livestock (and hopefully not interfere with possible breeding of the clowns)
- not a picky eater (must be able to survive on a daily dose of marine food)
- hopefully colourful and interesting

Questions:
- would a cleaner shrimp be a good addition? my starfish eats most of the brown algae in the tank but the shrimp is pretty small - i assume there would be enough scraps left (if they even eat algae - not sure).
- would a cowfish be a good addition? I've read they're picky eaters and you need hard shelled food to trim their teeth

Any suggestions/comments greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Kevin
