I would take the opportunity to send back to the LFS the Sail Fin Tang (will get way too big for a 90 gal tank) and the Sixline Wrasse (way too mean)
In addition to what you wanted, consider:
1. A different tang, a Yellow tang, Purple tang, Kole tang or a Tomini tang. My favorite would be a Purple tang.
2. Two Flasher Wrasses. Favorite would be Diamond Tail Flasher, Eightline Flasher, Yellow Fin Flasher or McCosker Flasher. Below are a few pictures of my Flasher wrasses. You should really consider these fish. There are no other fish that are more colorful than Flasher wrasses
Blue Flasher

Carpenter Flasher

Red Sea Eightline Flasher

McCosker Flasher

Diamond Tail Flasher

Yellow Fin Flasher

3. Another Coral Beauty angel. Nothing is more rewarding than watching a pair of angels spawning.
4. Consider a Radiant Wrasse, the most colorful of the Halichoeres wrasse
Radiant Wrasse

5. 90 gal is a little too small for a pair of Mandarin. Get a male Dragonette, they are more beautiful and will display without a female.

I have been considering trading sailfin so I probably will. We have had her three years and she is only about 3 inches now. Probably is a good time to trade her before she grows more. The six line can definitely go away. No attachment got him to control an excess of bristle worms, done his job so he can go now. I love the idea of multiple angels. How can you tell sex on coral beauty and is it possible to have coral beauty with a lemon peel in a 90 gal. Love your wrasses by the way!

List updated, thanks OrionN for input.

Also curious about cardinals. Have 1 pajama, want to add 1 banggai now my wife saw a flamefish cardinal. Would it be safe to have three, 1 of each?

Coral Beauty male have more purple, blue and iridescent blue. The problem is CB at various location have different amount of the darker coloration. It is possible that the shape of the fin, Caudal and Anal fins are different, but I don't know this. I spend a lot of time observing my angels and I think I was the person first report the color and fin shape different in Flameback Angels. I have not keep too many CB, other than one or two many. many years ago when I was a newbie.
With that said, Dwarf Angels are Protogynous Hermaphodies but can have bidirectional change. These fish are Juvenile, then Female then Male. How ever the Male can revert back to Female. This reverse sex change can happen but are stressful for them due to the fight they have with the dominant male, and many died before complete the change. Adding two small one or a larger and a small, the smaller the better so you can be sure that it is still a juvenile or at most a female, and you will have your pair.
BTW, I have a short thread on my Flame back Harem, if you want to look it up
Good Luck

For Flasher and Fairy wrasses, it is best to keep at least two of different species. Two male will display and compete with each other and show the best coloration.

Sounds good, thank you For your input. Do you see any compatibility issues with rest of my list?
