Fish Stocking suggestions?

[Ngoodermuth]

First, hello to everyone! I am new to this forum, I have a 56g column reef tank, 20g sump w/chaeto refuge, plenty of live rock, mixed LPS & SPS, Reef Octopus NW-110 skimmer.

The 56g was a recent upgrade from a 28g nano. I currently have 5 fish, but with all of this extra swim room I am thinking about adding a sixth and final fish, but I'm having some trouble deciding what to add...

Current Stock:
Yellow Watchman Goby, 2"
Black Ocellaris, 3" definately female
Royal Gramma, 3" I would call him "passive aggressive" but no serious conflicts
Yellow-Lined Cardinalfish, 2"
H. Melanerus Wrasse, 3"
Red Carribean Pistol Shrimp, not paired with goby

Thoughts are:

Small extreme misbar black ocellaris, hopefully male... any thoughts on pairing?

Another wrasse... I was thinking if it was a different colored wrasse, maybe H. chrysus "Canary Wrasse" or Halichoeres iridis "Radiant Wrasse"? Anyone with experience with wrasse compatibility?

Maybe Anthia(s), but I wasn't planning on adding more than one...MAYBE two if it was necessary to have a pair. Anthias, from what I've read, are not super competitive feeders and our other fish are not shy at feeding time.

And... here come the sirens.... Kole Tang? Tank not long enough right? My lfs says 55g min, but since this is a column, the lateral space is much less.

Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Last, some pics for good measure

Definitely a no on the tang. Another clown to pair up is a good choice, just make sure you get a small one that hasn't been alone for very long. A fairy wrasse could be another good choice. An anthia could be ok, depending on the species they can be decently competitive eaters. My male Resplendent is pretty daring, but the females not so much.

My first choice for you would be to pair the clown, 2nd choice a single anthia, and 3rd a fairy wrasse(don't think I would do another Halichoeres in a tank this size).

Nce tank I definitly would not put a tang in there mainly because of the shape but they would still prefer a bigger tank.

Thank you for the advice, it makes sense. The tank is a joint effort, and my fiance is not crazy about fairy/flasher wrasses. I think it will most likely be the clown or a single male anthia.

I agree with the ^^^^posts. Your tank looks nice

Have you considered a dwarf pygmy wrasse?

I have looked at them before, but I think if I was going to get one it would probably have needed to go in first before the rest. I've read they can be timid, and it would be the smallest in the tank.

Do you have any experience with them? They are cool fish...
