Thinking of starting 55g with the following occupants:

Snowflake Eel
Dwarf Lionfish
Wartskin Frogfish
Maroon Clown
Longnose Hawk
Coral Beauty Angel
Valentini Puffer

Thoughts on this?
 
I would be nervous with the snowflake eel and the valentini (especially) and coral beauty. As soon as it get big enough for something to fit in its mouth it it may eat it
 
That is a lot of fish for a 55 gal, even if you use wet-dry filter and change water for nitrate.
 
The frogfish is the most concerning thing for me. They can eat fish much bigger than you might think
