chromis are nice though I didn't have much luck, damsels can be aggressive little buggers

Coral beauty or flame angel? They stay small and have nice colouring.

It's one or the other. I think this would be your best bet too. If you plan on getting a bunch of corals though, both of these guys could pick at the corals. Another thought would be an Orchid Dotty or a pair. You can identify sex fairly well by looking at them. Potter's Angel is another choice, although Potter's can be rather aggressive to other fish they are one of the least likely to pick on corals. Kind of a toss up with them. Or a Flame Hawkfish?? Might eat your hermits/snails. They have really cool habits/personalities. Maybe one of the smaller Fairy Wrasse?

I don't think you have enough room in your tank to put a group of fish in. You only have room for one or two more fish.

If you put them in the tank at the same time together they should be fine with eachother. However if you put them in at different times expect a war to break out.
