Suitable tank mates

I am looking to finish stocking my tank with fish. Looking for two or three more fish but I am having trouble deciding what to put in the tank. The trouble being I want to make sure everyone gets along. That being said let me tell you what is already in the tank.

Yellow Tang - size about 3 inches
Bi-color angel - 3 inch
Six line wrasse- 2 inch real fat
neon Dottyback - small but he can take care of himself
Sand Perch - 4 inch
3 Stripe Damsel - 1 inch.

The only fish that really harasses any new tank mate is the wrasse.

Any suggestions on some new additions

will angels nip at all corals, or do they have a particular inclination for "particular" corals?

I am just worried about two angels getting along. Really looking for a larger fish.

A 90gal is really a tall 75, so you just about at max. If you have a reef or semi reef I would only add 1 more small fish (royal gramma, caulk bass, clown fish (not a maroon, or tomato), a cardinal fish, or one of the larger fairy wrasses).

If you do not have any SPS, but just those corals it would be OK to add a larger fish. A hawk fish, maybe 3-4 chromis, a semi reef-safe butterfly (like a long-nose), semi reef-safe trigger (niger, pink-tail, cross-hatch, ect), larger clown (the maroon, or tomato).

Good luck
