Need another hardy reef fish suggestion

I have a 55 gallon reef tank that is just under 6 months old and all corals are thriving, even my long tentacle anemone. I am concentrating on corals, and only have 2 clarkii clowns, one tiny green chromis, and a 6 line wrass. I travel 3 or 4 days a week, and looking for a pretty reef fish that will eat flakes and pellets readily and wont be to shy to eat around my other aggressive eaters?

any suggestions? every thing I can have ran across is either not reef safe, or may not eat agressively enough?
 
I personally love wrasses. There are a lot of choose that are reef safe and would live fine with your other tank mates. Not to mention there are many color variations to choose from.
 
I like the flasher wrass, but thought that 2 wrasses in the same tank would fight? If not a flasher would be at the top of my list.
 
I love my starry blenny, eats any type of food I feed and is very fun to watch.. either perching in odd places or swimming back and forth waiting for food. Great hardy fish IME

I wouldn't get another wrasse in a 55 with the sixline, they are generally pretty unforgiving from what Iv'e seen of other wrasses in smaller tanks.

I have to go with the yellow watchman goby for hardiness, and being able to compete with your current stock list. The clarkii clowns, and sixline can be a bit aggressive, but the YWG would be able to hold his own, and is a very interesting fish IMO.
