I have a 90g reef tank with the following fish:

2 Tomato Clownfish (paried)
3 Pajama Cardinalfish

I would like the tank to have color and movement if possible. I have some idea, but still need other suggestions.

These are future possible fish I have though of:
Yellow tang???
Flame angel
Mandarin (Once tank is very mature)
As many colorful wrasses as possible (don't know what kind are compatible)

Would like more fish, but not sure what to get. Help me pick fish for my tank! Thanks!!

Your tank is not large enough
Flame angel
Fine, may nip at corals
Mandarin (Once tank is very mature)
Fine, make sure to have a large mature refugium constantly producing pods, and take some ideas from Paul B.
As many colorful wrasses as possible (don't know what kind are compatible)
These will compete with a mandarin for pods, leaving the slower mandarin without food, if you sacrifice the mandarin, wrasses are fine

Here are some ideas, and is your tank a reef tank?
•A fang blenny from the genus Meiacanthus
•A blenny from the genus
•A dwarf angel from the genus Centropyge, may nip at corals
•You already have a pair of Tomato Clowns which IM(small)E are pretty aggressive take over half the tank (how do yours behave?)
•You already have 3 PJ Cardinals, which won't really bother anybody
•3 male flasher wrasses from the genus Paracheilinus (such as P. Angulatus, P. Cyaneus, and P. Mccoskeri) (add simultaneously)
•Tiger or Red Banded Pistol Shrimp with Hi Fin Red Banded Goby or a goby from the genus Amblyeleotris or Cryptocentrus (Alpheus Bellulus/Alpheus Randalli and Stonogobiops Nematodes or a goby from the genus Amblyeleotris or Cryptocentrus)
•Pair of Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata Amboinensis)
•Pair of Fire Shrimp (Lysmata Debelius)

I have seen some people put a Yellow Tang into a 90 gallon tank. I don't recommend that, instead you could do a Kole Tang or a Tomini Tang(smallest of the Tangs).
 
Yes it is a reef tank, and my clownfish control the left half of the tank. As for the tang, I will most likely go with a what you guys recommended, the Kole Tang. Thank you for the suggestions!!
