I have two clowns, Watchman goby paired with pistol shrimp, and a red tailed firefish goby..
This is a 45g Bowfront.

Cool looking fish would be awesome.

The tank is a bit small, but possibly a Flasher Wrasse or Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse might work. It would sure add color, activity and personality to your tank:

Check out some 6 line wrasses or a valentini puff! Both very colorful and fun additions.

6 line wrasse is not a good idea. Many of them turn aggressive once they hit maturity and can kill other fish, especially in a 45 gallon tank. Puffers are hit and miss for being reef/invert safe and can nip the fins of the fish in the tank.

Look at a small wrasse or some sort of basslet

I don't know much about the 6 line so thats news to me, but every Valentini puffer I've talking to someone about on here and in person has been reef safe and chill save for with snails. Other puffs Id question.

If you have sand, a small yellow 'coris' wrasse moves about the tank constantly. Very curious and active without being skittish.
The royal gramma or yellow assessor or black cap baslett are gorgeous fish, but don't move around much more than the clowns.
Maybe an azure damsel lin mlm or springeri damsel (sapphire).

Lol, not a beautiful blue devil. Has that name for a reason.

IME valentini puffers are hit-and-miss with hermits and snails. But totally worth not having a cuc.

Swales basslet, yellow assessor, royal gramma, flame or longnose hawk, pintail, lubbock, rubeus fairy wrasse, a flasher wrasse, midas blenny, are some options I would recommend.

Unfortunately most folks don't get the warning on the 6 line wrasse and they see a beautiful, active fish that doesn't exceed 3 inches and is recommended for tanks as small as 30 gallons (by the vendor websites) and then get it, only to discover it is peaceful for a while and then one day turns into Hannibal Lecter and starts harassing and killing off tank mates. Personally the only way I would do a 6 line wrasse is if I was doing a smaller Frag tank and just wanted one fish to add color and motion (and pest removal services).
