Okay, so I'm not necessarily "new" to salt water tanks - I work at an aquarium. However, we've began stocking our 200 gallon tank with fish native to the Flower Garden National Marine Sanctuary. I'm a little more confident with the local species considering that's primarily what I work with so any help or thoughts on this stocking list would be much appreciated! BTW apologizing now for the long post!

Currently stocked:
Least Puffer
Black & White Oscellaris (I know they're not native to the area, but the team thought it'd be a great addition for the kids to see)
Planehead Filefish
Cowfish

Potentials:

I planned on introducing (post QT) the non-aggressive/slightly aggressive fish first.. Please keep in mind that I'm not adding more than 2 of each species, if that!

Blue Chromis (Caribbean)
Cocoa Damsel
Four-eye Butterfly
High-hat
Longsnout Butterfly
Molly Miller
Neon Goby
Neon Wrasse
Royal Gramma
Sunshine Fish
Yelow Damsel

Then

Bluehead Wrasse
Clown Wrasse
Cuban Hogfish (2-3" then transferring when too big)
Harlequin Bass
Lantern Bass
Mardi Gras Wrasse
Puddingwife
Slippery Dick
