A 45G tank is too small for any tang.
Hedgehogs are cool

IMO your already near max capacity with your current line up.
Even if you go with just the two clowns and three chromis.

The clowns once mature will start to breed, this will cause them to become aggressive and not tolerate others near their "host".

Chromis are prone to squabbling when not giving enough space and will end up picking on the weakest of the group until it dies.

I love my coral beauty, or my boyfriend's flame angel. One if the two will look great against all the black and white fish in your tank. They get about 3-4" and swim lots, but aren't intimidated by other fish.

A pygmy angel such as a coral beauty or flame, potters etc, are always sweet additions but will probably nip your corals if you have any.

IMO so much better fish options with a larger 90-120g tank. Also you can add a tang or two that will help with algae eating.

Thanks for the suggestions, especially the ones that clearly read everything I put up already :P I have been looking into anthias and some basslets/assessors today, and there do seem to be some interesting ones. Suggesting I get a bigger tank when I'm still setting up this one - and am actually plotting a local/coldwater one for my next set up, in a few years, possibly trying for a tidal sim - is wishful thinking but not realistic :P

Any personal experience with yellow of blue assessors, dispar or lyretail anthias, or hamlets (although all of them, or possibly the only species depending on where you look, seem capable of getting a bit big)?
