I have a 55 gallon fish only aquarium with some live rock. Right now I have a snowflke eel, vermiculated anglfish, and 4 damsels. Im looking to get another fish in about 2 weeks, I just dont know which fish to get. Right now im looking at either a panther grouper, yellow tang, or a blue hippo tang. Which one should I get, and if none of those are good for me, do you guys have any suggestions?

Couple of points in your post.
Since your tank size is a 55G I would not recommend any of the fish you suggested. Panther groupers get super big. Most tangs get pretty large as well and the general recommended minimum tank size would be 6ft. They require a lot of swimming room with a lot of LR to graze on. I'm not positive on the vermiculated angelfish you have all ready but I believe he really needs a larger tank as well. About the only kind of fish I can think of that you could add would be some kind of wrasse.
My best recommendation would be to do some searches over in the aggressive section. Both your eel and the damsels will be consisered aggressive so you will need to find other fish that can get along with them. Not quite exactly what you wanted to hear but hopefully it will help.
