Hey, I'm planning to stock a 50 gallon. I'm not sure if this is overstocking please correct me if it is.

2x clownfish
1 Longnose Hawk fish
1x Red fire fish
1x Royal Gramma
1x Yellow Watchman Goby
1x 6 Line wrasse
1x Flame angel
 
Everything looks do-able to me, with two minor concerns:

1) Flame Angel likely will want more space than a 50G would allow for. They are very active swimmers and may become slightly neurotic when older.

2) List is more or less entirely Carnivorous - you may consider swapping in a herbivore such as a lawn-mower or starry blenny.

Any recommendations?

Fish only, or are you also going to add corals?

hawkfish and flame angel: reef safe with caution

IME there is no such thing as reef safe with caution, so if you get these with corals, you might have to rehome them. I've had to rehome a file fish, dwarf angel, and a foxface.

Catching fish with a lot of rockscape is a CHORE.
