I am trying to come up with a fish list for my 93 gallon cube and was wondering what everyone thought about it. In my tank right now I have a melanarus wrasse, red head solon wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, and an orange spot prawn goby. My tank is a mixed reef. I would like to add:
- pair of clowns
- yellow eye kole tang
- blue star leopard wrasse
- lawnmower blenny
- one spot fox face
- flame angel (maybe)

All fish will go through quarantine and then in an acclimation box in the tank for a couple of days. I do not need to add all the fish above, they are just possible fish I would like to have. Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas. I attached a picture of my tank.

Any of the above fish should work, though visually the foxface will get significantly larger than the others, and I have found that a high percentage of foxfaces are really skittish, which can be painful during tank maintenance. On occasion foxfaces may nip corals.

Flame angels may nip corals.

Thank you very much. Any particular order I should add them? Merry Christmas
 
With all of those wrasses in there, I wouldn't add the leopard wrasse alone. It may get picked on quite a bit and forced to hide in the sand. It's a good call to use an acclimation box, but if you do decide to do the blue star think about adding another fish or two at the same time to help spread out the aggression. Hope that helps!

When you say add another fish with it, do you mean another wrasse or one of the fish on the list? Thanks for your help.

Either option would be better than just one, but another wrasse would probably be ideal. Have you thought of doing a pair of the leopards? I don't see your other fish caring much if you added a tang, angel, or foxface.
