I have a 29 gal fowlr and some soft corals. Right now I have numerous snails, some hermits, 2 ocellaris clowns and a cleaner shrimp.
I had a fire shrimp but the cleaner killed him...
I am wondering what else I can put in there for color. Need not be a fish, maybe another fire shrimp?
Suggestions??

A small wrasse would look good.

Or a Pygme Angel (not dwarf Angel).

IMO you dont need a cleaner shrimp. Cleaner shrimp benefit from eating the parasites on fish.

also for a nice color fish look at wrasses, blennys, gobies

one of my faves is a mandrin gobi. i had one in my 40g n will again soon as he fattens back up..lol. coral banded shrimp dont go with em tho not n a small tank like a 40g. they chase them around and eventualy it wears them out n they get skinny n underfed, this is what i guessed was happening anyways. theyre pretty n look good with my two cleaner shrimp and my flame angel!
