I currently have a 55 gallon tank with a eco system filter I have about 55lbs of live rock ,about 1 inch of sand , my live stock consists of a yellow tang ,tomato clown fish, 2 green chromis fire fish goby ,royale gramma ,and a rabbit fish,2 cleaner shrimp,1 sally light foot crab. My new tank is going to be 155 gallon tank which I'm going to make a reef tank also like the one I have.
Here's my question? what other if any fish and inverts would be compatible with the livestock that I currently have?

Big step up. I just upgraded from a 55 to a 90. Are you going to make your reef first or add fish first? My suggestion would be reef first so you don't stress your fish too much.

AFTER you have most of your live rock in and arranged, with the fish you have, you can do several different gobies, i.e. engineer, sleeper, watchman, and dwarf angels, i.e. coral beauty, flame. Right now I'm getting into Japaneese swallowtail angels.

angels can be done but, from my experinece they nip at certan corals sooner or later.
i have a flam in my 65 and he nips at clams and brains
if u wnat a reef, tangs are just as nice and a better reef choice
any tang is good.
personally i liek powder blue, blue hippo, yellow, and sohal
