Wanted to see what everyone thought of this stocking list. Plan is to have a mixed reef with LPS, zoas, shrooms, and sps like montipora and birdsnest. Tank is the standard 4ft by 2ft x 2ft 120 gallon.

Already have: royal gramma, pajama cardinalfish, red band goby/pistol shrimp
Coming this week: bonded pair of yellowhead jawfish

Future additions:

Lawnmower blenny or midas blenny
Wrasse - flasher or melanarus wrasse
Snowflake eel - I know this is risky, but I had a model citizen in my last tank and love them
1-2 chromis
Filefish
longnose hawkfish

Too many fish ? Not enough ? Compatibility issues ?
Welcome to any and all criticism on the list.

I love eels and plan to have a snowflake in a reef down the road. As long as they’re well-fed there shouldn’t be any issues... although there is a chance the eel has a run in with the shrimp/goby or jawfish since they have similar territories within the tank.
If you’re into tangs, that’d be one of the first fish on my list due to the utility and beauty of them. I had a Yellow Eye Kole Tang back in the day and loved him.
