Could You Help Me Decide on a final tankmate?

New to the board, but certainly not new to the hobby. My next tank is in the planning stages, a small, peaceful reef setup. (29 gallon, 1.5 lbs. LR/ gallon, AquaCRemora, DSB, etc).
I definitely want to have:
(2) Solomon Islands Percula Clowns
(1) Yellow Watchman Goby
Now, I would like one more small, colorful, and non-shy fish. Here are my candidates, and your opinions are most welcome, pics are soon to come as soon as I move and set it all up!
1. Citrinis Clown Goby
2. Six Line Wrasse (but I worry about his comfort in a small tank)
3. A single Firefish goby
??? Any of these mix well, or a different one?
THANK YOU

firefish would be a good choice, however they are a "shy" fish
especially as a single
maybe you would want to llok at
a royal gramma, not shy. a litle aggressive but not shy and should go fine with what you have. the clowns wont be bullied by him and the goby should be ok since he is a bottom dweller.
or a midas blenny could be another good choice. not aggressive at all and they are interesting little characters.

firefish are shy in the beginning as stated, but they are fun.
what about a Coral beauty or Flame Angel? They are very pretty and very busy in the tank. Maybe a little more LR later on :)

I have heard of no probs with dwarf angels in a 29 before......our first tank was 29 and had a coral beauty for 2 years with no probs.
