Small reef fishes

So I am starting a new tank, a 60 gallon cube mixed reef, and looking for a list of recommendations for small, colorful, and peaceful reef fish. So far I'm planning on putting in a royal gramma, neon goby, watchman or clown goby, and some kind of flasher wrasse. I'm going for numbers rather than size and trying to avoid bullies like clownfish and pseudos. Any other suggestions?

If you get the right firefish personality their great fish. I have had a purple firefish from the beginning of my tank being set up and my two yellow corris wrasse scare it. Anyways I thought I'm going to try a regular firefish and the new one I got is out all the time.
Neon goby and flasher fish are awesome. I'm not a fan of the yellow watchmen goby, their nutty and like to go over the overflow. The Yasha goby is really cool and should get along with your neon fine. Royal Grama might be a little territorial, I suggest a yellow Assessor.
Good luck with your selections.
 
The good thing about flasher wrasses is that you can get several males of different species and they will flash most of the time and will not actually fight to kill each other. They're very colorful and out and about all the time as soon as the lights are on until the go off. They also will eat anything you feed them.
