Adding fish?

I just upgraded from a 54 corner to a 30x30x24cube 93g. I currently have a yellow watchmen goby, maroon clown, and bi color bleeny from previous tank. Can I add other clown fish, gobies, or blennies? Thoughts on tangs or maybe group of fish that would school. Opinions welcome appreciate all your help.

Maroon clowns don't get along with other clowns unless you get a baby maroon, but in a tank your size, I would skip that.
Tangs need a larger aquarium.
Maybe try a dwarf angel or firefish.
No fish will really school in a tank in your size.
 
A group of less docile anthias will do a nice job meeting your grouping needs; they spend time alone and together in the tank. Chalk basses look great together as well. From my experience a small Scopus would fit you tank provided it has lots of open rock work that it can spend time in. It also needs to be able to swim all the walls of the tank, meaning the stack needs to be freestanding. I reccommend studying up on the wrasses, some of the not so reefsafe can do well with corals. If you haven't made the move yet, now is the time when it's easiest to trade away what fishes you have in order to start a stocking list. After 11 years my list has changed a lot, and it is not easy getting a fish out of a well established home.
 
If you do do the small tang thing, look for one that seems at ease in its smaller holding tank at the store; study that it's eating, not pacing, comfortable, alert, good colour... They do seem to wake up every morning like Dory not remembering a thing, so calm and comfortable are very important traits for a healthy happy fish.
