I have a 125 gallon and my fish list at this point is:
Two false percs (they do better in pairs, IMO)
Two Bangaii Cardinals (also good in pairs)
Yellowheaded Goby
Royal Gramma
And then soon I'll be adding:
Three Lyretail Anthias (one male, two females)
Blue Hippo Tang
Yellow Tang
I was thinking about adding 6 Blue Green Chromis (nice schooling fish), but I think I'm going with the Anthias intead. Who knows, I haven't purchased them yet, so I could change my mind again.
Since you already have a b&w clown you might not want to add a perc, you usually need to stick with the same kind or they will fight.

A 125 gallon tank is considered 'stocked' with like 5 fish? I know people who have a well stocked tank with that many fish, roughly half the gallons.

I think you should get some bigger fish. All those fish are what people put in nanos. Are you doing a reef or fowlr? Get a tang and/or small angel.
 
you put more than that for sure. if this is a FOWLR then it will be VERY boring. it would be different if it was a reef and you could still add more fish

Ya the b&w wouldn't go with a percula. I beilieve I read that b&w are actually occlarius falsely sold and named percula. I strong recommend getting live sand. Also get a medium sized fish.
