Just curious if starting out with two butterfly fish(copperband, orange or auriga) is a good way to start off the tank. I would like them to be the focal point and then add a pair of clown, coral beauty, hand full of wrasse and a goby

The copperband is an extremely hard fish to keep alive, even in an established tank so I would reconsider that one.

Start with the clowns instead and take it from there I'd say! What's your full list of (dream)fish for this tank? :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: Then the community can guide you in which order to add them.

Also how would a few bubble tip anemones work with this combination of fish?
 
Definitely start with the clowns for a couple weeks, but when you're adding in the butterflies it's normally best to add them in at the same time/as closely together as possible. I added in my Auriga and Yellow Longnose together as part of my second batch of fish and they're gotten along since
