You're kind of borderline to0 small, but you could look at one of the smaller tangs like the Yellow tang or Kole tang. It would need to be your last fish so it didn't bother new fish.

I have a small Six-Line Wrasse already. Are there any that are compatible with it?

I also have a pair of ocellaris going in..... so far.

Anthias can be difficult but when I kept them feeding was like this:
1: Wakeup, turn lights on on the tank and shower...when shower's done, feed
2: Get home from work (around 5pm) feed
3: about half an hour before lights out (say, around 10:30) feed.

worked fine for me...just watch the fish feed in the LFS if you can before purchase.

Those clowns are usually not very aggressive, so you should be good with them.
I have no personal experience with Six-Line's as the research I have done shows that they can be quite aggressive.
