65g stocking: anthias or wrasses first?

[malacoda]

I'm getting ready to set up a 65g that I intend to stock primarily with anthiadinae and wrasses.

The tank is 48" x 18" x 18" (and will have 3"-4" of substrate).

The overall stocking plan I'm considering includes:

Gobies/blennies:

• tangaroan shrimp goby
• striped blenny (m. grammistes)

wrasses -- some if not all of the following (whichever of them I decide on, all of the flashers/fairy will be added at once):

• Adorned (h. cosmetus) - definite
• yellow fin flasher - very likely
  
• filamented flasher - very likely
  
• blue fin flasher - maybe
  
• lubbock's fairy - maybe

Anthias:

• 2 or 3 dispars

Damsel:

• blue sapphire (c. springeri) -- this would be the very last addition, if I decide to go ahead and risk it

For those with both wrasse AND anthias experience:

1. Would it be better to add the wrasses or the anthias first?
2. Being that the fang blenny is fairly active, albeit typically non-aggressive, would it better to add it after the anthias, before (confidence booster for them?), or not really matter either way?

I would add the Anthias and Damsel towards the tend. The Striped Blenny can be slightly aggressive but in that size of tank I wouldn't worry too much.

I don't think the springer damsel is a risk at all, mine gets pushed around by pretty much everything in my tank.

The Springer is considered the most mild of the bunch but there are some cases of them being aggressive (which technically can also be true of a generally peaceful fish). Either way I would still add it last as a precaution. It shouldn't cause many problems in a tank of that size regardless.
