Why do you want te green wolf? If you just want an eel I would stick with a snowflake. A snowflake would fit in a 65 and is an invert eater so he would be fine with fish, just not shrimps or crabs.

All those sound good besides the urchin. All eels eat either fish or inverts. So either have it alone or with no inverts

You will probably end up regretting the damsel. They are mean, the older they get the meaner they get. They will stress out your other fish. The first four comments are what some people commented on a Facebook thread had to say about damsels. A damsel will get territorial and protect its space.

Definitely would get the hawkfish Cleo recommend. IN all due respect that beast would get to nearly 9 inches when fully grown. I would get a smaller one probably max size 5 inches

He wants a hawkfish and the ones I liked at, besides that one, only grow up to like 3". A three inch fish is definitely food for other predator fish he wants to put in there.

Blue spotted/Toby puffers don't get a big enough mouth to eat fish, snowflakes aren't fish eater they are invert eaters. I looked on liveaquarias page and arc eye, flame, and long nose hawkish all grow over 4" which should be plenty large. Fish boy it is really up to you though.

Let him just choose the one he wants, it's only a suggestion. I don't think he had fully made up his mind anyway. The hawkfish I chose looks really nice even though it's gets really big.
