Default Schooling Fish for a 90 Reef

I have a 90 gallon soon-to be reef tank and would like to add a schooling type of fish. Popular myth lead me to believe clowns or damsels would school but I have learned that the clowns don't and the damsels can be a pain. I plan to get a pair of clowns, and a Tang of some sort, and a reef safe wrasse. What would be a good schooling type of fish for this size tank?
I probably will have a cleaning crew and soft corals also if that makes a difference.

You Can Use Bangai Cardnal Fish Or The Small Pink Anthias,and If I Were You I Would Use 1 Tang,unless They Are The Same Species And Are Added At The Same Time.but Stay Away From The Damsels.

I only plan to get one Tang, one wrasse and 2 clowns. I was sort of wanting a schooling fish as well though. Cardinals might be neat. Does anyone know which Anthias? I've seen Bartlett's which are the smallest so far. Many types of Anthias I've seen for sale need a bigger tank?

I also have a 90 gallon reef with 3 tangs, an anthia a couple wrasses and a clown. I also have 5 Blue/gree chromis that school it gives everything a really nice look plus they are pretty small fish and cheap but can be very beautiful if you have a medium size group
