34 gallon RSM stock question

I have a 34 gallon red sea max with plenty of rock work, plenty of coral, and plenty of potential. Currently I have 2 onyx clownfish and a wheelers goby. I plan to add a 6 line wrasse, and then top it off with a mandarin goby. But I also want a fish that is always wanting to swim towards te top. I know many suggest keeping most tangs and angelfish out of a tank my size but in terms of reefsafe tangs and angelfish, do you have any suggestions?
Also check out my tank thread called Tyler's Red Sea Max tank diary. I have plenty of updates and videos

your tank is too small for any tangs for sure. with those 5 fish stated above you want to add a tang or angel as well?!?! if so there is no way. maybe if you get rid of 2 of the other fish you could get a dwarf angelfish but im not sure.

You could do a dwarf angelfish in your tank without an issue. Tangs are out of the question and you'd really be doing an injustice to the fish by putting it in that small of a tank. I could go on and on about this, but I'll leave it at that.
Be careful with a SixLine Wrasse and a Mandarin in a smaller tank, they have a tendency to compete for food and I have seen a SixLine kill a Mandarin on more than one occasion in a smaller system, even when the tank is always stocked with pods. SixLine's are bold little fish, and Mandarin's are big wimps.
I'd look into a blenny manybe, great personality. A small basslet like a Yellow Assessor would work. They weave in and out of rock work all day, and often swim upside down, which I just think is cool to watch.
