I would add the following fishes. Please ask if you have any specific questions. They should all do well in a 165 gal tank. Need some sand bed.
Eightline Flasher wrasse (tight cover needed for all wrasse)

all awesome fish - though if memory serves, powder blues are said to be mean and ich magnets.

I am not @bblumberg but this is how I keep my snails, urchins, and abalone from getting to the Nori for the fish:
I use the Two Little Fishies :"Veggiemag" magnetic clip. I use 1 or 2 sheets of nori, fold along the lines (by 2) until it is 1/6 of the original width. Then fold in half and clip. My tangs will eat one sheet in an hour or two. The Dejardins and powder blue tangs attack the nori like sharks.

It really depends on how well you care for them. I don't QT my tank for Ich and my fish never have Ich. Infact if I add a fish with Ich to my tank, the Ich fizzle out and gone in a few weeks. Other fishes don't get infected from the sick fish.
I QT my anemones, corals and Clams but not fish.
