Green Fish

I have a 75 gallon tank with 1 Kole Tang, 2 False Perculas, a Firefish, a Yellow Clown Goby, and a Blue Chromis. There are also some soft corals.
I am looking to add another fish. My daughter wants a green fish. I couldn't find anything or think of anything that is green and would be good for the tank.
Any ideas?

actually, that pic (like many here) is sorta bad. pearly jawfish are more cream colored, but their fins are shimmering, sorta like mother of pearl. that said, that fish is probably THE coolest fish you will ever see. My LFS has 2 of them and i'm debating wether to put one in becaues of my shrimpgoby.

green chromis - good thought, but looking for something...more
green bird wrasse - 75 gallons is too small
green coris wrasse - not safe with shrimp and not really green as adults
lime green wrasse - not reef safe
green wolf eel - not reef safe...not really a fish
spotted mandarin - I was considering a green mandarin, not sure if I can sustain the pod supply.

How is the pic bad?? My lfs has one and he won't sell it to me btw. lol But it looks exactly like the pic with the exception that his has more vivid green colors. *shrugs*

A YH Jawfish is more of a pearly to blue IMO..
Green is a hard one for a smallish reef. Considered the Scott's FW ??
