Help me pick a new fish

I need a new fish and I am not sure what to get... I know what I would like to have but not sure if they would get along..

I have:
Cinnamon or tomato clown.. not sure which one it is.. large in size.. about 21/2 to 3"
sand shifting goby
algae blenny
mandarin
coral beuty
valentini puffer which is behaving himself with the snails and hermits. He has not killed one since I put large snails and crabs in. Been over 2 weeks now. I am not ready for corals yet so I will keep him around for a while.

I have 1 really cool anemone from FT that I would like to get another. I think it's a haitian purple tip but not sure.

I want that maroon clown at FT (local fish store) bad. I am worried my clown will not get along with him. Should I chance it? I have alot of rock for them to be separated.
I would like a blue hippo tang.. I have a 55 now and had a yellow tang for 7 years.. Is my tank large enough for a small hippo? I would be getting a larger tank near august time frame this summer..
I'd like to get a sweetlips but have not seen one around in a while

Any suggestions? My tank is doing well and I owe it to this forum.

why not try to pair your clown?? figure out which your current one is and get a juvi one, may or may not work, but would be nice if it did!!

I would not try two different clowns in your tank. You could try a very small blue hippo if you know for sure that you will be a larger tank in just a few months. Have you thought about any other fish?
