Im upgrading my 75 mixed reef to a 120 and am looking to add a couple more fish. Looking for compatibility, character and color.
Current list:
2- clowns
2- anthias
1-brisstletooth tang
1- hippo tang
1-fire hawk
1-fairy wrase
1-watchman goby
1-lawnmower blenny

The bristle tooth is the largest one in the tank at the moment.

Foxface, copperband butterfly, dwarf angel (flame or coral beauty) leapord wrasse, flasher wrasse, fairy wrasse.
 
I like erases, just wasn’t sure which ones are compatible. Angles worry me, seems it can be hit and miss with them eating corals.
 
I always advocate for more dither fish especially since you have your two centerpieces with the tangs. A mixed squad of fire fish, scissor tails, or bar gobies would be a nice addition. I keep a variety of 8-10 in my 125. It creates a more authentic reef experience as opposed to crowding the tank with a bunch of center piece fish. Additionally due to their small size it’s not a big hit to the bioload. Same could be done with the afore mentioned wrasses, or you could also do a colony of royal grammas, or bicolor/blue reef chromis (any of the non-murder-y types). These might be humble fish to a lot of folks but in numbers they really make a tank pop.
