I'd like to get one more fish for my 34 Gallon tank. It's more of a cube shaped tank. I have 2 small Clowns, a Blue Sapphire Damsel and a Yellow Watchman Goby. Obviously I'd love a Tang, but I wouldn't put one in a tank as small as mine. What, in your opinion is the best looking/most interesting fish that would fit in my tank?
 
Personally I'd say a FlameHawk. Great personality and nice deep red and black colors.
 
Splendid or orchid dottyback will give you an active fish with color and interesting swimming habits.
 
Thanks guys. Would the FlameHawk get along with the current fish in my tank?

They should. They usually mind their own business. Just hops from rock to rock and chills.
 
I like longnose hawks
 
Candy basslet but they aren’t cheap.
Geometric Pygmy hawkfish are cool.
 
I had a small fathead anthia in my 25g for over a year, she did great in there. They are not crazy active swimmers like other anthias so space is less of a concern. They like to find a cave and hang out by it. Beautiful colors. She is in my 80g and still doesn't stray more than 6 inches from her cave. They also do well/best as singles.
 
How long have you had the damsel? In my experience they are aggressive towards new tank mates, especially in a 34 gallon. Super territorial. Not all fish are the same, so good luck.

You might be able to get away with one of the dwarf angels (flameback or golden ;) ) but it's risky as high % of them love to pick at corals. Some folks are so lucky theirs don't touch corals. Others might suggest against angels as 34 gallon is not big enough.
