Our tank is now a going concern, full of coral frags, with a lovely clean-up-crew and four fish ready to come out of the QT and enter the display soon. It happens to be my birthday mid-January, and I've asked my husband for another group of fish and maybe a few inverts to flesh out the tank. He said yes, so another group will go into the QT soon... now I just have to decide what to get! :D

Our current inhabitants include:
2 ocellaris clownfish
1 longnosed hawkfish
1 yellow watchman goby

1 bullseye pistol shrimp
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
2 emerald crabs
~20 hermits (8 Hawaiian 'left handed' black and white, 10 blue, 2 misc brown, species unknown)
10 turbo snails
10 nassarius snails

several species of leather coral, fox coral, hammers, frogspawn, rics (Florida & yuma), various mushrooms, loads of zoanthids, blastomussa, 1 SPS frag, xenia, clove polyps, dendros, sun coral -- very much a mixed bag of stonies and softies.

Possible additions:
- clown goby
- kole tang (had one in QT, but she died, liked her very much)
- some sort of blenny (suggestions?)
- bubble coral
- brittle starfish
- porcelain crab(s)
- scarlet hermits

I'm absolutely open to ideas. Tank & equipment parameters are in my signature. I don't want anything that will outgrow the tank or stress its fellow inhabitants, so even though I'd like colourful little damsels they're off the list. I want a dwarf angel, but I'm not sure I want to take the risk of getting a 'nipper'; they're such stunning fish I may choose to take the chance but right now I'm on the fence. If you want to throw in ideas, I'm all ears (eyes)! :D
 
You could add all those things on your list and still have room for more fish. I would look into getting some type of wrasse; if the tank has a lid a flasher wrasse would be a great addition to your tank. Midas blennies are also great fish with tons of personality. As you said, the dwarf angel may bother some of the LPS in your tank, but it may not. It is a gamble.
