Help finding a yellow fish

Want to add a yellow fish to my tank. Tank is a 5ft 150 gal. I already have a sailfin tang and a blue tang and really do not want to chance a yellow tang. I though about the yellow corris wrasse but not sure about it going in with my dragonet pair (competition for food). And the yellow foxface having poisons spins makes me nervous. What else is out there I could go for?
 
Some pretty yellow angelfish - lemonpeels are awesome, but not reef safe. Regal angels are mostly yellow (and amazingly gorgeous), and are safer angel.

Midas blennies are yellow.

Female lyretail anthias have yellow(ish) bellies and tails.
 
My midas is more orange but the similar canary fang blenny might work. They are similar to the yellow wrasse in appearance but won't compete with the dragonet.
Also if you don't have corals then a bicolor angel would be on my list. I also have a soft spot for yellow gobies.
 
it is a reef so angels are out.

Why? Large angels are usually not interested in SPS. My two regals even don't bother the LPS too much:

Whatever there was on coral damage was done by the bicolor blenny (fished it out by now). Combtooth blennies are way more dangerous to SPS than large angels.
 
Japanese Sallowtail Angel (genicanthus melanospilos) and Masked Swallowtail Angel (genicanthus semifasciatus) have yellow backs and are reef safe. The Pyramid Butterfly is yellow and white and reef safe as well.
The Yellow Assessor is an option in a smaller fish.
