adding a red--> orange fish to tank

[mjmpinsky]

I am trying to keep the colors in my tank variated.
Eventually, I would like to add some soft corals to the tank.
Right now I have a green wrasse (very neat lime green color!), domino damsel, 4 striped damsel, yellow back damsel (cobalt blue with yellow on bellly to caudel fin), and a clarkii clownfish (deep brown->black coloration), and a medium sized (brightly) yellow tang.
I would like to add some red or orange to the tank. Since I have been warned agianst trying to add another clown to the tank, I was thinking of a flame angel.
Any other suggestions for a new addition that would add some red --> orange to the tank, and get along with the present inhabitants (and STILL be reed-safe)?
There is plenty of green algae growing for fish to graze on.
Thanks for the input.

The flame angel is a nice fish with bright color but its a 50/50 chance when it comes to them nipping on your corals. I had one before in a FOWLR tank and loved it. Havent tried one in my reef though.

Just thought of this.....
If you are wanting bright red then you should get a couple fire shrimp. They are a nice addition to any tank.

Fire Shrimp are a good idea, and I will probably get one or two - they are not expensive.
However, I am still looking for a swimming fish that will add some color and "watching action" to the tank.
So, I am still open for ideas/suggestions.

flame hawk fish are really cool and wont bother corals when you get some.
