Your order looks good, only things I'd recommend is to move the anthias to first additions so you can get them used to feeding. They can be finnicky and easily be outcompeted by established fish. I've found lyretails to also be quite shy to other fish. Coral beauties can also be very mean once established. Mine wanted to murder my yellow tang when I added the tang, had to put the angel in time out box for 2 weeks. Consider moving the angel after the tangs.

I'd also say that's too many fish for my comfort, but others might feel differently. That's very heavy stocking.

Thanks for input - I have no plan for disease prep . all fish are going to be pre QT from Dr Reef... Having said that I am open to removing fish from the list. What ae your suggestions... I know the Naso tang will need to be re-homed at some point.... Can you provide some guidance???

that's better than no preps at all for sure. Dr Reef does a lot of work behind the scenes to get fish ready but it's impossible to do it 100% correct every time. the best way to handle those $ is for you to buy from Dr Reef, and still do your own observational quarantine anyway. I don't believe it's possible to keep any of that mix without your own dedicated disease protocol training applied in the home where the tank is. it'd be different if your plan was 2 clownfish and some gobies but thats thousands in fish, seemingly as a first go/ unless you have a tried and true system already in place that's a massive disease risk above for sure, and stocked quite heavily as well

for all disease prep info/see disease forum stickies it'll take a few days reading to absorb it

How large are the trigers and tangs?

Tomini once established along with purple are REAL A holes...
And they get situated FAST, so id put them either very LAST or right before the triger.

Im having problems with a fairy wrasse as well, as its a A Hole, always chasing after my Anthias.
But my Anthias have learned if they are getting heckled too hard, run to the orchid dottyback, and that usually tames the fairy fast.. well more like chases it away.

I would move the hawk up, skip the Naso altogether, and for sure choose an ocellaris or percula variety over the aggressive maroon species.

I am going to a tang police and recommend against adding a Naso to your tank. The rest are fine. The order mainly needed for fishes that in the same group (wrasses,tangs). All together as once is good if you can manage that.
