Hmmm, good question. I think you have already defeated the non-aggressive theory by adding the snowflake eel. Keep a close eye your damsel, he might be missing one day <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />
Tangs are pretty good community fish, but add three at a time. Tangs are finiky like that remember odd numbers. I would suggest a Purple Tang, Hippo Tang and either a Yellow Tang or an Achilles Tang. Tangs will also eat all of your filimentus algae if you get any, since they are herbivores
If your are staying Fish only, inverts aren't really a problem. Crabs are know to eat smaller fish once the crab gets bigger. Other than that, you can pretty much add any invert.
Ona side note, some cucumbers when stressed will realease a poisonus toxin into the water that may harm or kill your fish.

as your snowflake gets bigger it will become aggressive towards anything that it can fit into its mouth. the damsels are aggresive also so if you dont want an aggressive tank your on the wrong path sorry to say.
maybe someone else can give alitle more advice I have not keep a snowflake so I sont know what its behaviour is like..

snow flakes will eat snails and crabs and shrimp, so i would avoid them altogether(the inverts),
wrasses are the same way, at least the lunare wrasse is
and i DEFINITELY would not add 3 tangs to a 72 gallon tank, maybe one, and not one of the really large ones, probably something like ayellow or a koles tang for size
i like the idea of a maroon clown(or the lunare, but lean towards the maroon) adn a yellow tang
