Looking for some suggestions, especially for open swimmers. The tank is looking pretty bare right now even though I have several larger fish in there. I have a lot of caves and hiding spaces so even the tangs aren't front and center but instead swimming through the rock work. Probably great to keep their stress down but not for my viewing pleasure!

Current stock:
Juvenile Foxface Lo
Adult Tomini Tang
Medium Kole Tang (they get along great btw)
Medium Marine Betta
Cleaner Wrasse
Ignitus Anthia
Juvenile Lightning Maroon
Juvenile Engineer Goby
Adult Bar Goby

On order:
Lamarck's or Spotbreast Angelfish

I'm going to sell or give away the Foxface. I know it'll get too big for this tank anyways and I don't want any crowding with new fish -- and he's going to be the biggest of the bunch so it makes sense.

The only fish that are super active out in the open are the anthia and cleaner wrasse (and the clown but his anemone moved to a lame area so now he's out of sight a lot). The tangs, foxface, gobies are happy cruising the rockwork, in and out of view. But when you just walk up to the tank it looks rather bare because you have to watch for a bit in order to see their behavior.

Any suggestions? Must be fish on the smaller side; don't want to add more large fish.

Here's the tank:
