220gal stock list

[Giants2]

Hey everyone,

I've been doing more and more research on my future salt water tank and I wanted to see what everyone thought on my fish list:
1- Emperor Angel
1- either dog face puffer or stars and stripes
1- black & white meniscus butterfly
1- false double saddle butterfly
1- fox face
1- purple tang
1- blue hippo tang
1- Picasso trigger
1-Red Coris Wrasse or a green coris or Pinstriped Melanarus Wrasse
1- snowflake eel
2- clowns of some type

Not sure if this is a good stocking list for all the fish to get along. Also im interesting in suggestions possibly a fish that will clean the rocks and sand?
Thanks

Looks ok except I would not add the trigger or the eel.
The angel may not like the butterfly’s as it gets older and more dominate.

Is the issue the butterfly's with the other fish? I do want a trigger so if I remove the butterflies what could I replace those with

Don’t replace them . You will have some room for the rest of the fish to grow. Think gallons per fish.

Stars and stripes will outgrow the 220 in probably a few years assuming you start at baby size.

Ok ill look for a smaller puffer.

Green coris? Do you mean Halichoeres chloropterus?

Unrelated but i'm curious, how long have you had that red emperor for? Is he still growing?

 

[Giants2]

Red emperor?

Red emperor?

Sorry, i was talking to @Thomas Jedlicka. He has a video of a red emperor attached to his previous reply.

If you get the eel, try to have large unmovable pieces of rock, because he will eventually move most smaller rocks.

Thanks for the help my tank is up and running. Got a hippo tang, a coral beauty and a black n white heniochus. So far so good tank running good, parameters are perfect. Going to wait a month to put another 3 fish in the tank. Also thinking about doing an overflow and sump since my tank isnt drilled
