not to mention the fact that a blue hippo tank would get too large for a 55 gal

i would definately research and consider before i put a bluehead wrasse (or any fish, for that matter) in my reef. careful research can help you avoid costly mistakes down the line! just my $0.02...

you could get a blue shark
don't know, you could get a yellowtail damsel (which is mostly blue) and probably be ok since it would go in last.
but the problem I see is that you're probably close to the limit already, and the tang definitely pushes you closer to the limit. and the yellow tangs and tomato clowns are both pretty territorial from what I've ready, so whatever fish you choose is likely to catch some abuse.

Anyone have an opinion on a Springeri's Dottyback? Just saw one for the first time in an LFS yesterday. It was pricey ($50) but very very pretty.
Dottybacks are pretty mean to anything that looks remotely like them. Mine doesn't mess with the mandirin but has harrassed a yellow goby and a blackline Blenny to death. If I could catch it he would go exploring the "white tunnel of doom".

I have a bicolored one, yellow and pink. I call him Guido. I don't know what the different colored one would do with the watchman but I'd make sure before I bought, gobys are too cool to allow a thug to pick on them. I have an orange spot goby now and Guido picks on him a bit but not as bad as he did the YWG.

bicolor dottybacks are quite possibly one of the meanest fish you can get IMO..
