I'm planning on upgrading to a 180G (60.5"×25.3"×21.7") within the next year or so. I'd love some feedback and tips on stocking order. I'm not a fan of tangs, but am open to other fish. Thanks!

Currently own:
1 Leopard wrasse
1 Copperband butterflyfish

Would like:
5-6 Small anthias (perhaps Randall's?)
2-3 Flasher wrasse
1 Royal gramma
3 Rhomboid fairy wrasse (I know that they don't pair, but would a trio be fine?)
1 Starry blenny
1 Regal or Goldflake angelfish

Looks like a solid list. The only * would be the starry blenny (they can apparently be murderers, but I’ve never owned one so I can’t confirm or deny).

Two that I highly recommend are any dwarf angelfish and the flame hawkfish (so much personality!)

Thanks! Any suggestions for a dwarf angelfish? I've heard that they're usually coral nippers.

My coral beauty is very peaceful; the midnight angel is a bit more hyper and nips at the occasional zoa (but isn’t destructive by any means). I’ve heard the flame angels are fairly low key as well.
