Hey all,

Here's a list I threw together for my 55 gallon.

Yellow long nose butterfly
Royal Gramma
2 ocellaris clowns
Yellow rose goby shrimp pair
Red Scooter Blenny
Green Banded Goby
Mandarin Goby (I have a very high and steady pod population)

I've had yellow long nose in the past in a 55 and a 60 and they've always done great!
 
Here's what I have in my 55. Can't ask for a better combination!

2 Ocellaris clowns
Yellow eye Kole Tang
6 line wrasse
Indigo Dottyback
Kamohara Blenny
 
I think the list is pretty good, what are you doing for your CUC? Look into adding a fighting conch or a serpent star. Both are cheap and add some character to your tank

I got a lot of astrea snails, a few turbos, some red leg hermit crabs, a serpent star, nassarius snails, cleaner shrimp, and a few cerith snails :)
 
The list looks good. The only concern I have is both the red scooter blenny and mandarin together in that size tank. Both consume a huge amount of copepods. It is very possible that in a 55g both will outpace the pod production.
