Fish stocking order?

[GK805Ojai]

My new temporary 40 gallon is set up, cycled, and fish have been moved. I say temporary because once the flooring in the house has been replaced I will be getting a IM60SR. Because of the weight of that tank it does not make sense to get it now. The cheap 40 gallon will be easier to relocate when the flooring goes in.

My current stock moved from a 20 gallon:
2 Ocellaris Clowns (currently in the penalty box)
1 Green Clown Goby
1 Yellow nose high fin banded goby / candy cane pistol pair
1 Royal Gramma (recovering from Clownfish aggression)
1 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Also have CUC including blue leg reef hermits and several varieties of snail which have not yet transferred to new tank.

I would like to add:
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse
1 Starry Blenny
1 Cherub Angel (or Coral Beauty)

Will this stock list work for the 60 gallon? What order do I add the fish? I am thinking the angel would be the last in but which of the other two should I add first or does it matter.
TIA

I am not an expert in angels but I would say that you should add the angel last.

I’d put the goby/shrimp pair in 1st and maybe the green and skunk cleaner
the gramma needs to establish a home/sleeping quarters

I’ll defer to others but the Cherub has a very different disposition and size from the Coral Beauty …its possible you can house several together

Clowns maybe next

I’ve had aggressive starry blennies, but toss up
2nd Coral Beauty last

Suggestive based on behavior/aggression:
Ocellaris Clowns (currently in the penalty box) 7
Green Clown Goby 1
Yellow nose high fin banded goby / candy cane pistol pair 3
Royal Gramma (recovering from Clownfish aggression) 6
Skunk Cleaner Shrimp


I would like to add:
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse 2
1 Starry Blenny 4
1 Cherub Angel (or Coral Beauty) 5

The goby/shrimp pair, green clown goby, royal gramma and skunk cleaner are already in the tank. The clowns are in the tank but in a breeder box for now so that the other fish can find their territory. I am planning to add the angel, wrasse and blenny. I know the angel should be added last but should the starry blenny go before or after the yellow coris wrasse?

Thank you. The Green Clown, royal gramma, goby/ pistol and gramma are already making their home in the new tank. My gramma is kind of a wimp and the clownfish harassed her pretty badly before the move from the 20 gallon. She is recovering well and the clowns are in a breeder box until I decide to release them. Since you suggested they should go in last I may move them back to the 20 gallon for now and add the yellow wrasse next.

the 1 or 2 Starry blennies I do know for certain they have zero tolerance for other similar blennies…

The Starry blenny will be the only blenny in the tank.
