Ok, so I keep thinking of adding one more fish to my 75g mixed reef. Here is my current stock list

Fish:
2 bangaii cardinals
2 PJ cardinals
1 chromis
2 oscelaris clowns (and 3 BTAs)
1 coral beauty
1 firefish
1 randall's goby/tiger pistol
1 starry blenny
1 scooter blenny

Inverts:
1 skunk cleaner/1 blood red fire shrimp
2 serpent stars
2 fighting conchs
1 emerald crab
misc hermits and snails

So I'm obviously looking for something reef safe but want something with color, or rather my wife wants something with color. I was thinking of perhaps a wrasse, but I'm not sure which one might be a good fit. I had a melanarus before and loved him but ended up trading him in because I worried he would go harry carry on my inverts at some point. I also kind of worry about a wrasse causing issues with the scooter as far as pods go.

Any other suggestions for a final colorful fish? I'm open for ideas but would like to avoid any fish that could potentially be terrors a la 6 line wrasses lol
 
I like the Kole myself but think my wife wants something with more color. I love the midas but do you think the starry might have an issue?
 
royal grammas are very colorful and seem peaceful, at least mine is. :)
 
You already have a good stocklist there, so I would not add anything big. I would suggest a single Fairy or Flasher Wrasse. They won't compete for pods and depending on the species you go with, should get along fine with any of the fish you have. Just stay with ones that stay ~4" or less
 
Oh trust me I'm not wanting to add anything big, had a foxface lo and loved that fish but he got big fast and you could tell he wasn't happy and the rest of the tank mates reflected that. I do not wish to repeat that.

What about maybe a McCosker's or a Carpenter's?
