I know there is a lot of these posts out there where people are asking the same question. I thought I would ask it again and post a short video of my tank so that people might be able to make recommendations whilst knowing my exact situation.

Here is the video. Dont mind my annoying speech. Since this video I have added another 15lbs of live rock. The Naso died last night. I should have known that the tank was too small, but I made a poor choice in that. I dont want to make the same one again. Thus the reason for my post. I need some suggestions.
I have the two clowns now, yello watchman, the wrasse from the video, and a pesky little blue damsel that I have been trying to trap. the trap is in place now so hopefully I will have success in catching him. he is still tiny so maybe he will take a back seat to the others....maybe not.

Based on the size of the tank and the way 60g is in a cube rather then long ways, I would reccomend keeping the clowns, watchman goby, and wrasse. I would add some shrimps to the mix such as some cleaners or peppermints. For other fish think of a royal gramma and maybe a few chromis. You will be much happier with a moderate amount of fish and shrimps in that setup. Google 60g cubes my friend and look at what they have going on.
 
I will look at that. I have a few cleaner shrimp, and a pistol. And other critters of that sorts. I love my shrimps. They are one of the coolest critters in my set up. Im not looking to stock the tank with a ton of fish. I am just looking for some options.
 
The Royal gramma is an excellent suggestion. Great color and temperment for a small fish. A Bangai Cardinal has been a favorite of mine. Some kind of blenny would be cool. If you are dead set on a tang (even though I wouldn't reccomend it) you could try a small bristletooth like a kole tang or flame tail tomini.

I didn't get the impression that the OP was proposing to add another tang, but I agree he shouldn't in a 2-foot tank.

To the OP, this may seem like a weird question, but what do you think you're tank is missing? Activity? Color? That would help to guide our suggestions.
