Surely clowns have crossed your mind?
I love my Coral Beauty, colorful and fat, he is in a 45 gallon. Keep them fed varied foods and I see no reason one can not go into a 40. Mine does not pick on my clams.
My Yellow Tail Damsel is a good fish, he does stand up for himself but I have never had an aggressive yellow tail.
Flame Hawk fish, I doubt it would go after the pistol especially with a Gopy present. He will perch on corals though, no harm done.
White Blenny, Midas Blenny.
I would suggest Fire Fish but you may have issues with the Royal Gramma.

No Clowns have NOT crossed my mind-lol. Nor will they ever. The Flame Hawkfish has as has the Canary Blenny.
I just recently had to re-home my Bi-Colored Blenny as he started nipping at my new Clam. He also destroyed 2 new Chalice's. Broke my heart as he was my first fish for this tank. I do love Blenny's though. I'll check out the 2 you've mentioned, thanks [emoji2]
As for Fire Fish I'm concerned about them jumping.

I would be reluctant to add a dartfish to an uncovered tank.
A colony of barnacle blennies, a species of Paraclinus blenny, a pr of neon gobies, a clingfish, curious wormfish, a plectranthias, tricincta damsel.

Tang, Angel, and Wrasse Nerd!
Flame hawk, and a small melanarus wrasse. The melanarus will eventually outgrow the tank but they're easily "adoptable" by another hobbyist so you should be OK for awhile.
I'm thinking you need some red and green in the mix there.
Clowns aren't so bad! Although out of my 50-55 fish collection, only two of the entire collection are clowns! Wrasse, tangs, and angels (in that order) are my most common fish types but my tanks are larger (180, 180, 125, 55 qt).

I have and would recommend both. Yes, you'd likely have to re-home the wrasse eventually, but mine keeps thing cleaned up nicely, including the snails:mad:. I had to switch over to Banded Trochus Snails because they can right themselves - at least they have a chance. The Flame Hawk is just a cool little fish with great personality. I realize you're not interested, but we love our spawning pair of Snowflakes...lol.
