stuck on stocking a 60G cube

Hi all,

I have a 60G cube tank that I'm having a hard time stocking. currently I have the following fish:
Ocellaris clownfish
Firefish
neon dottyback

I was worried the dottyback would be a trouble maker but I took the chance and so far he is a model citizen.

any recommendations on what to add next. I was looking at a McCosker's Flasher Wrasse but would really like something larger like a kole tang (don't worry I'm not going to get one)

here are my reservations:
I have a clam so I'm worried an angel will nip
must be reef safe
I don't like Cardinals

Check out the redtailed taramin wrasse. Really cool fish. I have one in my 220 reef tank. Cool fish and a lot of fun to watch.

A wrasse has a big personality..you can't get anything too big at this point..a wrasses personality IMO is size enough! You'll be happy..Lubbocks, Mccoskers, any fairy wrasse will be good

Flame Angel's are one of my favorites. They're sometimes reef friendly, sometimes not.

I have a coral beauty for sale as well as a mandarin and a black clown. Have a rbta too. Also a red fish with yellow fins that looks and acts like a mandarin but I guess it's not from what I'm told

I would go with a largish water column fish like a fairy wrasse or a small angel.
