If you listed what you would like to have it would make help a bit easier.

I'm glad you got your tank in good shape. I wish you well with it, just feed sparingly and try to hold down the nutrients to keep it in good shape.

Never liked the concept of starting with "beginners corals". When you do that you can end up getting stuff you later regret. And waste valuable space and cause unanticipated future problems.
If you want an LPS tank, consider starting with an LPS you LIKE - when you and your tank conditions are ready. Want an SPS tank? Get a montipora. Your chances are pretty good unless you go off the deep end and any additional cost is often minor.
Don't get EZ Xenia or green star polyps for example just because they're "easy". Don't get those drab olive green polyps (unless you love olive green) just bc they're only $5 on the junk rack. It's best to start with a plan and go in that direction from the start IMO. Random buying a variety of random, pretty "easy"' corals with no plan can lead to all kinds of unwanted issues sometimes. Just my 2 cents.

Your tank will be fine with a yellow tang and foxface but the blue tang (hippo tang) will get to large for that tank. How about some smaller fish like gobies, blennies, wrasse, cardinals, or clowns?
As for easier corals look at softies, leathers, hammers, torch's, frogspawns, ect
What kind of lights do you have?

You can add another clown, just make sure it is smaller than the one you have now. While the fish will eat pods they dont rely on them so you will be fine. Dragonette's and scooter blennys need pods to survive.
