Tank: 80 Gallon shallow (24"x48"x18")
Coral: LPS and Softies now. Planning on some SPS in the future.
Current Stock:
- 6 Line Wrasse
- Neon Dottyback
- Blue Damsel
- Tomini Tang

Goals:
Colorful and Social

I am looking for add a few more fish to my tank likely all at once for a final stocking. I am hoping to add some fish that are not very well known to be jumpers (I know all fish jump), will get along nicely with other fish and coral, and have interesting/colorful patterns.

Clowns are currently my only thinking but I am open to some more options.

Thanks!
 
Some of the fish on your list will be aggressive towards new additions, especially if the new additions want to be near the rockwork.

Some possibilities include a small group of hardier anthias, such as squammipinnis or bartlett. A midas blenny would work too. Another option would be a variety of Chrysiptera damsels.

Yeah I was thinking Anthias since they can be a little more out-front and social it seems. Might go with 3 (better in odd numbers) and grab a blenny as well to finish up the stocking. I quickly realized that I accidentally stocked my tank with some pretty mean little guys but everything gets along well now so hoping adding a bigger amount of fish at once will prevent anything from being singled out.
