Looking For Fish Recommendations !!

I just cycled out a 55 gallon, using LR, 30% water from an established tank, about 5 pounds of sludge gravel from the bottom of a LR tank in a store and a bottle of cycle. I added a few Red Hermits and turbos yesterday. I have the required lighting for corals etc., and my filtration currently consists of two Penguin 330's. And I plan to purchase a skimmer very soon.
My question is this:
I want to know 5 fish that would not harm corals, plants etc., hardy and do well on frozen brine etc.
I know a lot of you have experience with different fish and corals polyps etc., what would a beginner coral, polyp be to experiment with.
I have the following in my hospital tank.
- 1 Coral Beauty
- 1 Bi Color Blenny
- 1 clown (orange)
My 37 gallon marine aquarium is doing fine and I don't want to touch it, so I plan to leave all those fish alone.
Thanks for your information and assistance.
Jim

5 fish that would be a good combo in a 55 are:
1. Clown(s)
2. Firefish
3. Bengaii Cardinal
4. Royal Gramma
5. Sixline Wrasse
Just be sure to start slowly, and add maybe 1 fish every other week. Keep a close eye on water params as you go along. I would add in the following order Clown(s), Firefish, Bengaii Cardinal, Royal Gramma, and Sixline Wrasse.

i have a couple suggestions on corals. if you want polyps, try button or green(dont go to expensive with polyps, or to big. they multiply pretty fast). if not, then try a rock with mushrooms. mushrooms are ideal. they can live through a lot, and look really cool. for beginnging corals, stay within a low price range. good luck:D
