Wow your tank is set at up really similar to mine! I recommend a wrasse (depending on how big your tank is) or fang blenny - mine are constantly out and about swimming around.

4 foot tank, right? I definitely say wrasse.

Depends - but I haven't experienced aggression at all from my melanurus. In a 33 gallon I believe you would want to stick with smaller wrasses like fairy wrasses and I don't have experience with them...

The McCosker's Flasher Wrasse is an attractive reef-safe wrasse sure to be the star of your aquarium. This hardy wrasse species adapts well to established home aquariums, making it a beautiful and active addition. The vibrantly colored male McCosker's Flasher Wrasse is predominantly red/orange...

Blue/green Chromis and a Canary Blenny will do you good. Wrasse will be in and out of the rocks constantly.

How long have these fish been in the tank? It looks to me as though they have established territories.

Swimming around would cause them to encroach on each others territories and could lead to aggression.

Yes 4 foot any that I should avoid

Id go off of the size of fish. Flashers or fairys. Fairys would be better i think.

I think that these fish have established areas of the tank as their own. They have agreed to stay out of each others way.

I would avoid a sixline unless it is the last fish in that size tank, you may not have enough places for it to explore and stay occupied in that tank. I've had a sixline in my 29 gallon with a pair of mature clowns, they get along fine, the sixline was introduced more recently. I tried a matted filefish and the sixline really pestered it whenever it saw it, but ignored it when it was swimming in and out of the rocks, which it does constantly.

I won't try any additional fish with my sixline in the tank.

Yes that I would agree with ! Lol

I went through this setting my 120 standard too. one thing that pays to mention if choosing wrasse is be well aware of the types of fish you plan on going with and if your tank is covered as many won't work with other aggressive fish or uncovered tanks.
fortunately there are great examples that will work with either plan.

Yeah this is my last fish going into tank I honestly don’t want to put another one in but really want to see a fish moving around
