I have a 210g with a 60 gallon refugium, hence I wanted to ask if i could keep these fish which I was intending to buy with my current fish

Fishing going in:

White spotted moray (fangtooth grows to a maximum of 3 feet leaves medium sized fish alone)
Zebra moray (pebble tooth grows to a maximum of 5 feet hasn't touched a fish)

Fish I intend to get:
Lavender tang
Lieutenant tang
Convict tang
Threadfin butterfly
Yellow head butterfly
Longfin banner


I believe that this will mostly be my full stocking but if I ever run across a fish i possibly want to have, would there be a bit more space to add another one?

I would swap the convict tang out, they are super super shy and I think the other two would beat on it and stress it out. Maybe go for a utility tang like a type of bristletooth for algae! Or a zebrasoma (yellow, scopas, or purple for this size tank). Purples being the most aggressive. Also the other two tangs are super similar so you will have to watch them and try to get them smaller and add at the same time. My two cents
 
Good advice above. All I'll add is to ensure everything goes through quarantine as a lot of these are prone to issues.

Thank you for the advice and suggestions!

My lfs doesn't get the imported fish as usually like the scopas and the bristletooth almost non existent, so i am sure if I get the bristletooth my wallet would be non existent too Lol, how about the ebli tang? My lfs does get it a little more often and does have a slight appearance to the convict?

Indeed, that would definitely suck a big deal, it's gonna be my first to have butterflies and even the thought of losing one in your first time definitely doesn't sound pleasant

Probably would be a better choice than the convict!
