Tank inhabitants:
2 clownfish
3 pj cardinals
Conchs
Snails
1 pencil urchin
1 large yellow watchman goby
1 cleaner shrimp
Corals

How large is your tank? since you already have a YWG, theres a risk of fighting.

I would say maybe blue spot Edit: Yellow head jawfish species wise

The yellow head jawfish does the best in a reef tank. The bluespot usually struggles with reef temperatures as it is a colder water species from California and Mexicos colder west coast.

I would say its risky in a tank that size.

Gotcha, I'm looking for a smaller size fish to kinda fill in the tank a tiny bit more. Any other ideas?

maybe Tailspot Blenny, a Firefish (risk of jumping), or a sharknose goby (also a jumper).

all pretty docile, on the smaller side and should get along with that tank. I've seen Firefish sharing burrows with Watchman gobies, so thats also something that might happen if you go with it.

I‘ve been looking at tail spots, they’re really cool. I used to have a lawnmower blenny, when I wasn’t As experienced in the hobby. Would a lawnmower be good in my tank and are they aggressive or anything?

Tailspots are cool. They are a solid choice

I have an Ora Neon Goby and it's a spectacular neon blue color. Mine is pretty active throughout the day. Perches on the rocks here and there and occasionally tries to clean my clown fish.
