Why just one fish? IMHO, regardless of what fish you choose, it will still end up looking pretty empty.

A flame angel would be an eye catching centerpiece, but should be added last. So would a fireball or flameback pygmy angel, but it should also be added last.

A group of lyretail anthias would give you color and they are pretty much out all the time, but will require frequent feedings, especially until they settle in.

Many of the wrasses would be nice, but you might end up with fewer shrimp than you currently have. Perhaps a Leopard wrasse. Mine eat only pods and other tiny things. They are out from the time the lights come on until lights out, hunting in and around the rocks.
