Help with adding a final fish

[JR8999]

My current inhabitants of my 56g tower include:

Royal Gramma Basslet
Lg. Midas Blenny (in QT ready to go to DT)
Purple Firefish
2 OC Clowns
Blue/Green Chromis(in QT ready to go to DT)

I have an hob skimmer and was thinking I could handle one more fish before addition some LPS corals. So far I have had a pretty light bio load and want to make sure I'm not pushing my limits so not 100% sure I should add more. Thoughts?

If I can add one more, I'm looking for suggestions that would play well with others and maybe add another color variation.

Any photos of your tank? Just curious.

Yes should be fine with one or two more smaller fish. I would look at a flasher wrasse and/or an assessor basslet.

One of the possum wrasses would make an awesome addition. I have a Tanaka's in my 120, and he is easily one of my favorites in the tank. Highly underrated group of wrasses.

Yes Solo I was actually thinking of a Pygmy wrasse.
Any other sugguestions?

Check out a Chalk Bass. Very active and well behaved fish.

yellow tang always adds color and movement and are always picking away at algae

Yellow tangs, since they can grow to nine inches, don't do well in 56 gallon tanks.

I vote for some sort of small wrasse! Maybe a flasher...though I really fear aggression from your gramma...have no idea how you are getting him to behave with your firefish, though, so maybe you have a really polite gramma!

Have you tried posting in "PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first! "- a sticky in new to hobby section.
Steve is very helpful. He won't give suggestions but if you give the names of fishes you are interested in he'll comment on compatibility.
Good luck.

Yellow coris or yellow and purple wrasse are good and add some color. Different yellow than the Midas but you may not want that much yellow. I would definitely go with a wrasse. Just research the one you want because some are not reef safe and some get pretty big. Fairy wrasses and flasher wrasses would be good if reef safe.
