Currently I have a 40 gallon long mixed reef tank housing 6 fish.
*2 chromis
*1 yellow silver belly wrasse
*1 pj cardinal
*wheelri prawn goby with pistol shrimp
*starry blenny
I am planning on giving away the pair of chromis and is looking for a fish or two that are colorful, and active fish.
Thinking on maybe a dwarf angelfish like a coral beauty or a flame angel but I am not sure I want risk it with the corals. Any suggestions?

I had a coral beauty in a 60 before. Didn’t touch my corals but it can be hit or miss. My coral beauty was the best fish, super active and always out swimming so I’d go with that!
 
court jester goby to replace the cardinal then get two fire fish to replace the chromis. you’ll have yourself a colorful, active, reef

With a Silver Belly, I would add another species of wrasse.
I would go for either a Wetmorella species or a Pseucheilinops ataenia. These do require rather detailed rocks to hide in though so just be warned about that.
