75 gal reef tank

I was hoping that I could get some suggestions for relatively reef safe fish to add to my 75 gallon tank. I currently have a 20 gallon sump with Reef Octopus skimmer, chaeto, and live rock rubble in it. In the tank I have lots of live rock and sand a royal gramma, pair of ocellaris clownfish, one firefish, two blue damsels and a talblot damsel that need to be caught and pulled out, a skunk cleaner shrimp, a peppermint shrimp, various snails and a few hermit crabs, and two feather dusters. For corals: a duncan with 6 heads, two different kinds of frogspawn, pulsing xenia, waving hand xenia, purple star polyps, several types of zoas, some type of paly, small frags of birds nest, a small piece of montipora cap and another stony coral that I can't remember the name of (it is light pink whitish).
Thanks for your help!!

Would a Mimic Eibli Tang or a White Tail Bristletooth Tang be okay? I was also thinking about a mandarine and a yellow watchman goby and another firefish maybe. Would those be okay? I have pods established in the sump and tank already. It has been up for almost a year. I also forgot to include that I have a ton of brittle stars in there. Any other suggestions would be wonderful!
Thanks!
 
The bristletooth will work, bristletooth are one of the only families of tangs that will in that size tank. Can you see a good amount of pods in display as well as in your chaeto? If yes then mandarin might be ok, you do have a few damsels and they can be pains and might chase the mandarin just for the fun of it. Look up fish traps and pull them if you can, it will open up space for more unique fish.
 
I will definitely pull the damsels out first. The biggest blue one is a bully and chases everyone. That makes me so mad. The little blue pals around with the clowns but, I am not sure if it would turn to be a bully after the others are out or not.

What other fish should I add then?
