Hello and a happy Saturday to all.

I was wondering what order I should add the below stock list for best results:

Blackstorm Clownfish -2

Blue-Green Chromis -7

Blue throat trigger

Spanish hogfish

Foxface

Emperor Angelfish

Bicolor goatfish

Thank you all and LETS GO FOWLR!!!!!
 
How big is the tank?

I'd suggest this order:
Chromis
Clownfish
Foxface
Goatfish
Trigger
Hogfish
Angelfish

For the last 3 I'd suggest putting them into an acclimation box for a few days or up to a week before fully introducing them into the tank.

It’s a 171 gallon tank.

Do you recommend putting any of those fish in at the same time? How far apart?

Thank you!
 
What sort of aquascape are we working with here? If plenty/ample, I don't think I'd worry at all about adding the chromis, clowns, and foxface all at the same time... Possibly even the goatfish actually.

Those last three are the more aggressive and need extra attention. I'd probably space those three out, with the Emporer last.
