more fish? or not

I have a 75 gallon tank with 125 lbs of live rock and a 4" live sand bed. I use a 29 gallon aquarium as my sump. I keep it nearly full. I figure that the added water volume can only be a good thing.
I have the following fish:
purple tang, 5"
yellow coris wrasse (4 spot wrasse), 3"
orange tailed damsel, 3"
ocellaris clown, 2.5"
2 engineer gobies (a pair, I think), 5"
Can I add any more fish to this setup? I was thinking of adding either a dwarf angel (flame or coral beauty), or another wrasse (a fairy or six lined). How would the coris react to a new wrasse in the tank? Is my tank already full? Thanks for any help.
btw: I use an aqua clear skimmer, a large one, rated for 125 gallons. this might be relevant.

You could probably get away with something more-assuming you're pretty well established--I wouldn't go with a pygmy really though, or the fairy. (sorry) You are going to want something fairly aggressive as to not get beat up by your others, especially that purple, and especially being the last one in the tank. Grab yourself a guide and browse till to find something that catches your eye and meets your requirements for size and aggression.
Good Luck

to put another fish in the tank and to advoid the fish taking a beating, rearange the rockwork or feed the fidh live or their fav food after letting the fish in. <img src="graemlins//yeahright.gif" border="0" alt="[yeahright]" />

how's the water doing???
i would think that you may be able to add another fish, but you do need to be careful choosing, 1 b/c the aggression, and 2 b/c you may be gettign close, sure the sump could be helping, but i would just keep an eye on how you stock from here(and stay with smaller fish)
i would think, maybe a dwarf angel, one of those mentioned, the flame and coral beauty are beautiful and hady fish, as fara s angels go, but they do need a mature tank like 6 plus months old
HTH and good luck
