Bland looking tank

I have the blandest looking FOWLR tank there is. I moved my tank a couple weeks ago, and took out 2 chromis and today I lost my yellow Blenny. I have in the tank now is 2 false Clowns a Royal Gramma, sixline and a Flame Angel. Im going to be near a fish store that stocks SW fish and I would like to add 1 or 2 colorful active fish, that would get along with the fish I have. Any ideas?
thanks

Does your royal gramma get along well with the sixline wrasse?

A foxface will get too big for a 55.
Some possible choices~
midas blenny
yellow watchman goby
pajama cardinal
red or purple firefish
flame hawkfish
pearly jawfish{if you have a deep sandbed}
flasher wrasse
neon or clown goby
chalk basslet

I would be cautious with a basslet, considering you already have a gramma, the similar body shape may cause problems

They are not similar, though both are basslets.
 
I added some cheap plants for my tang to munch on and plenty of LR and dead corals.. aquascaping is important, giving protection and caves for fish and making it look appealing.

I'd like to try a Chalk Basslet but if the RG is going to bother it I wont. My calcium is low thats why I have little or no Coraline growth, but I'm working on raising it

Although I can't speak about compatibility with your existing fish because I don't know, we got a Diadem Dottyback. A small fish only about 2 and an half inches long and he's brilliantly colored with a vivid purple back and bright yellow body.
And an enjoyable fish too as he's usually quite "busy" ... checking things out (He'll look right back at you as you gaze into the tank), zipping in and out of the smaller passageways through the rocks, popping his head out to see what's going on.
I believe dotties in general can be a bit pugnacious, but I understand Diadems to be one of the milder of the type. Ours hasn't caused any problems with our Oci clowns, BG Chromis, YT, or skunk cleaner, although he is certainly not bashful and doesn't shy away, even from the tang which is about 20 times his size. The worst things he's done is "stolen" our skunk's favorite spot, claiming the area and forcing the shrimp to find new digs.

Why did you only put nano fish? with the exception of the wrasse and basslet.I never though of a 55 as a nano.
