Opinions needed

Right now I have a 50 gallon tank (36x18x18) With one Gsm(approx. 3-4") a lawnmower Blenny(approx. 5-6") and a Bullet Head Goby(approx. 5-6"), a sebae anemone, and a small pistol shrimp that survived a lionfish that is no longer in the tank, with about 55lbs of live rock and about 3-4" of aragonite/crushed coral. My next additions will be a pair of Pearly Jawfish, and one more active swimmer. I was thinking either A. a six line wrasse. B. a Long Nose Hawk. C. a very small naso(will be moved when it gets too big) D. a small Power Brown Tang(same deal as with the naso). or something else, I'm open for suggestions.

This is a reef including SPS, LPS, Mushrooms and Zoos whenever I find some nice ones that are worth dropping the money for.

the pistol shrimp is my only shrimp/crab in the tank and since it survived the lion, I wouldn't see a problem with getting a fish that eats em.

Thanks much

Defintely not reccomend the tang, even though you will find it a new home later when it gets bigger, I just don't think it is right. I would lean more towards the sixline over the hawk because of the shrimp. If you want an active swimmer, the sixline is it, hawks generally just sit and perch.

like I said the shrimp survived a lion who survived purely on ghost shrimp so I don't think that as a problem but I'm still open to all suggestions
