I think something in the reef-safe wrasse family is going to be your best bet for a fish that is compatible with the yellow tang, coral beauty, and your corals. A damsel or two would probably be fine with the yellow tang.
Next in line I would get the blue tang, if you can tolerate the probability of ich for a short time and keep him eating. Can you get one that is at least 3" to make him more of the size of the yellow tang?

the wrasse that i was thinking of getting is the six line wrasse....

yea i can get a blue hippo about 3'' <-- if he gets ick isnt it going to pass it on to my tang and my nemo's???

i was thinking of getting the blue hippo now...since i dont have any corals in their if it gets ick i can just treat him in the tank with all the other fishes.....well i do have a coral in their i have a cabbage that i had to put in my big tank bc it was dying in my nano.....

So, what fish do u suggest for me to get next out of the ones that I want??

If that is going to stay a strictly FOWLR tank, then you can do a copper treatment. However, this will not go over well with the shrimp, hermits.... and the copper may be absorbed into the rocks, etc... leaching out later to affect inverts and coral. I wouldn't worry about the clowns getting ich, unless they are not tank-raised - even still, they are pretty resistant to it, as are most damsels.
I would still wait 2 more weeks for the tank, filtration, and LR to settle out the new bioload with the yellow tang and clowns. Then add the Coral Beauty.
Keep the blue tang till last, otherwise every time you keep adding one more new fish, it will be likely to freak out and get ich again. Ich on a blue tang is like an asthma attack on a scared little asthmatic kid.

If you do opt for the copper treatment then dont do it in your main tank. It will stay on the rocks sand and a bunch of other stuff. I agree with Bogies post.
