Herbivorous fish suggestions for a 58 gal tank

I need to add 1 or two small herbivorous fish to my 58 gallon tank. Current inhabitants are a pair of breeding clowns, a small McCoskers wrasse, a possum wrasse, a Whipfin wrasse, and a firefish goby. The tank is 10 yrs old and is heavily stocked with mostly LPS coral with a few softies as well.

thanks--
 
Your tank is on the small side for a rabbitfish or foxface, so consider some of the algae eating blennies.
 
I have been researching the blennies today. It seems they have a tendancy to nip corals and be a bit aggrressive to some of the species of fish that I already have, but I am not ruling them out. Can anyone who keeps these blennies chime in here?
 
No tangs. the only dwarf angel I may consider is a coral beauty as I have had pretty consistent problems with a few of the others nipping coral.
