Looking for fish suggestions

I currently have in my 150g FOWLR that has been running for about 8 months:
2 of Rod's Onyx Clowns
1 Female Blackspot Angelfish
1 Hippo Tang (went in today after doing his time in QT)
1 Solar wrasse (Hippo's partner, went in today too)
1 sixline wrasse
1 royal gramma
1 dragon goby

Would like non-aggressive bright/colorful fish that do swim about and are reef-safe (might add corals down the road). Been thinking about flasher and/or fairy wrasses. Maybe a flame angelfish. Maybe a school of green chromis. I like mandariin fish, but have doubts I can keep one alive as I hear they can be tough to keep fed.

Any thoughts on these or other suggestions? Appreciate the help as always.

Also, should I start feeding twice a day given the new guys or once (been doing once and everyone seems to be OK)?

A school of chromis would work, as would a shoal of lubbocks fairy wrasse, colorful fish, another option would be a school of threafin cardinals, not really exciting until they are happy, but they have bright blue eyes/highlights and will actually school
Another option would be a group of tank raised fridmani basslets or a group of royal grammas (the latter being more difficult to get right)
