New Fish Ideas?

Hello All,

I've been running a pretty light bioload in my 220G (except for my snails, I have about 500 of the mini ceriths lol) but want to add something in my tank and thought I'd ask what people like in their tanks as I consider new things. Here's what I have:

Sailfin Tang (5-6 inches, by far the largest fish)
Starry Blenny (2-3 inches)
Pajama Cardinal (normal size)
Ocellaris Clownfish (2-3 inches)
Blue tang (2 1/2 inches, he's the baby of the group I put in a few weeks ago after his QT time)
Blue-green chromis (an inch maybe)

I put the sizes so you have some idea of the fish in my tank. None of the fish were agressive towards the blue tang when he got put in the tank. I assume its because there is a lot of breathing room between each fish.

I want something that is pretty active for some movement. I only feed once a day a custom mix of seafood, nori, spirulina, and formula 1 (sometimes I forget and skip a day) so I don't want to change that and have to feed multiple times (or I would love a school of anthias). I also put in a strip of nori every couple days for the tangs and blenny.

Let me know what you guys think. I am probably going to put a blond naso in at some point. I love them.
 
blond naso is a good pick, just had one in my 225gl as well. And i also have three clown, cardinal, powder blue, blue hippo, yellow, naso, and clown tang it seem to be ok.
 
The blenny should be a fun addition. I dont have a starry blenny, but my lawnmower can be very entertaining at times.
 
I have the blenny already Heath! and that's a lot of tangs! Oh by the way, the fish has to be "reef safe".
 
I like the wrasse idea. There are a lot of nice wrasses and they stay pretty active.

A few more ideas:

Blue jaw trigger - Rodney has a small pair right now
Long nose butterfly - mine is completely reef safe and doesn't touch anything
Orange shoulder tang is one of my fav's
Tennenti tang
Chocolate tang
Dartfish, tilefish
Genicanthus angels - lamarck, swallowtails, bellus, wantanabe (another group of my fav's, not as common as the regular angels IMO)
 
Candy hogfish are reef safe, beautiful, and active. As for tangs, kole tangs are beauties, as are Achilles and goldrims. Rabbitfish are pretty and active, too, especially ones like gold saddle rabbits.
