Hi all, it's me again. I recently moved my 55 gal into a 79 gal for two reasons. Reason one is that I loath the shape of a 55, and reason two is that I was felt limited in my stocking options because of how vertical it is. Well now that I have a bigger tank, I was actually able to do some aquascaping instead of stacking rocks on other rocks, and I really need some fish to finish it off.
In the tank currently are two captive bred Kaudern's Cardinalfish, one ORA Goldflake Maroon, and one Black Cap Basslet. Bellow are some fish that I think could make the cut.

Dwarf Angel (fire or Potters)
Saddle Valentini Puffer
Sammara Squirrelfish
Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse
Blue Star Leopard Wrasse
Exquisite Firefish
Blue Gudgeon Dartfish
Clown Goby, Green
Springeri Dottyback, Captive-Bred ORA®
Tracey's Damselfish
Fathead Sunburst Anthias
Radial Filefish, Captive-Bred ORA®
Whitespotted Pygmy Filefish, Captive-Bred ORA®
Yellow Assessor Basslet, Captive-Bred ORA®

There are some great fish in that list, let me know what you think, and feel free to suggest others.
 
Dwarf Angel (fire or Potters) May eat coral, and Potters are hard to keep.
Saddle Valentini Puffer Should be fine, will eat inverts.
Samara Squirrelfish May be fine... They get big though, and like to school.
Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse No. Belongs in ocean IMHO.
Blue Star Leopard Wrasse Difficult to get feeding, but otherwise fine.
Exquisite Firefish Fine. They jump high and often, have a lid.
Blue Gudgeon Dartfish Fine. They jump high and often, have a lid.
Clown Goby, Green Fine, other fish on this list may intimidate it.
Springeri Dottyback, Captive-Bred ORA® Will not coexist with Basslet.
Tracey's Damselfish Fine, only keep one in your size aquarium.
Fathead Sunburst Anthias Fine. Pseudanthias must be fed often.
Radial Filefish, Captive-Bred ORA® Fine.
Whitespotted Pygmy Filefish, Captive-Bred ORA® Fine.
Yellow Assessor Basslet, Captive-Bred ORA® Fine.
 
Okay, so the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse is out. Which is the better Filefish? I think the Radial looks cooler, but the whitespotted has a reputation of having a lot of personality.
 
There are loads of wrasse's that you can keep in a tank that size. What about a blenny or hawkfish? A goby wouldn't hurt and it would stay in a different area than your other fish.
 
There aren't many wrasse's that really get me excited. They're a bit too pastel for me, and the multiple feedings required isn't really feasible for me. I was thinking about adding either a flame or red hawkfish to the list of possibilities. Have you kept any hawkfish?
 
I've had a longnose hawk fish and it was as personable as, only downside is they won't eat pellets or flake (well mine didn't) only eat frozen, freeze dried black worms and patrol and eat very small shrimp. So if you don't mind it eating your wildlife they are great.
