Signature fish for a 55

I've had a 55 set up for 9 months-extremely stable. Using a 4 stage cannister (370gph). 2 inches of live sand, 120 lbs live rock. I have 2 small oceanaris clowns and a scooter and would like to add one more "signature" fish. Any suggestions? Few small mushrooms, snails, mainly a fish tank. Would like to avoid a yellow or blue tang.

Thanks!

A harem (1 male and 2+females) of flasher or fairy wrasses would be nice.

How much deeper would the ocean be if it didn't have sponges?

Are the clowns hosting an anemone? A nice RBTA would look great in a tank that size.
