Where to go now- Stocking question

I want to thank those of you that have helped me get my tank and stocking list thus far together, your input is much appreciated. :joy:
Im in a 120gal with a Volitan, Naso, choc. chip starfish, and SFE. Volitan is about 6-ish inches long, Naso is little more than half that size (Lion leaves him alone), and SFE is 9.5" or so. So now im between a rock and a hard place with ordering fish. I like triggers, but know they are a bad idea. I was recommended a pinktail, but this site doesnt offer them and I have never seen one. Pics plz? Any other stocking suggestions? Ive always preferred aggressive fish, but will I have to go to angels? :help:
Puffer?
Harlequin Tusk?
A "docile" typed trigger? (No need for flames, just looking for the less- murderous species)
Also, how much more can I put in here before Im overstocking it?

well a blue jaw wouldnt be a bad idea, theres no indefinetely "lion safe" triggers but for the most part i would go w/ another tang or an angel (tang has to be diff genus then the naso)

another tang would be a bad idea
and your tang may not like to see an angel either Id say go with a wrasse
lunars are fun harlequins are sissies (at least mine is) and then their are others that are just breath taking aka red coris (a bit touchy shipping)
or a grouper can be an awsome fish too IMO theres not enough grouper owners
a miniata is a show stopper
the only reason i dont have one is they dominate my harlequin tusk
and I have 2 eels in my tank so i need fish that are out and about not peaking at your through a rock

thanks for all the input- I'm looking at a harlequin tusk now. What about the other question? At what point should I stop stocking with the lion in there?
