Last fish - what should it be?

I have 2 OC clownfish, 5 pajama cardinalfish, 1 firefish goby and 1 royal gamma. I have hermits and snails as my CUC. The newest additions were the clownfish (1" each) and royal gamma (2"). Everyone is eating and getting along great and there are still some LR hiding spots not claimed. The tank is 4 mo old.

I hoping for some blue or something really beautiful like a Christmas or Hoeven's wrasse but I hear they eat your CUC and get very aggressive as they age even though Live Aquaria lists them as peaceful. A dwarf angel was suggested at one point but Live Aquaria says they are semi-aggressive? I'd love a mandarin dragonette but I don't think my tank is matured enough and I don't want to do live food.

Thoughts?
 
I'd go with a starki damsel or a pair of azure damsels. I know the azure damsels are pretty common but they look incredible, are cheap, and are not very aggressive (especially if you get a pair).
 
Who will be most peaceful? 6 line wrasse, azure damsel, African flameback dwarf angel?

6 line is just a terrible fish. Flameback isn't too bad but might eat corals. I have two azures in my 90. They chase eachother once in a while and don't even notice anything else.
 
I would go with Flameback Dwarf Angel. IME, they are good of not messing with corals, but every fish can be different. I think your chances are better with a Flameback than any other dwarf angel.
 
I would get the xmass or hoeven's wrasse. Your cleanup crew will be fairly safe, and are somewhat expendable anyway. Corals will be completely safe from the wrasse.
