I really like my jawfish (but this would be dependent on whether you have a decent sandbed or not).

Scissortail gobies are also really nice fish with a subtle beauty (as long as you have a covered tank or fish that won't chase it out of the tank). Firefish are also very beautiful and not too expensive.

My blue & gold goby from J&L is a real cutie.

A black sailfin blenny will skip around on the rocks and stare at you:biggrin:

Another beautiful fish I would like to add is a Midas blenny.

I really like my midas blenny. Always out, and very colorfull. I do have a pair of neon gobies as well, that are always out. The last pair I had fought a lot, but these 2 don't fight at all. The problem with them is they have such a short lifespan though.
You could also add a less aggressive clownfish, like the false perc's, true perc's or skunk clowns. Another option is the Hifin Perchlet, or other gobies, like the Randall Goby.
If you do add more wrasse's, there is a risk of fighting. If you had added them all at the same time, it wouldn't have been an issue, but since you already have established wrasse's, they may pick on the newcomer's.

Thanks everyone, great lists. I should know be able to figure a few. As for the Midas
I tried one and he is rather devilish and has been moved to an empty tank till I figure out
what to do with him. I really like him but he just doesn't play nice with the other's. :biggrin:

I googled gold & blue goby and didn't see it curious as to what they look like.

I think it might be a blue and gold blenny. I did see them on the J&L new and noteworthy page a few weeks ago. They don't have them on there now but this is what I found on liveaquaria

Maybe Anthony can confirm that this might be the one?

You could also look at bangaii cardinals. They are a really neat fish, and peacefull.
