Any advice is welcome advice. I'm a long way away from buying my tank, so all of this is still in the planning phase. I would like to have a trigger or an angelfish as well as what's listed below, but I'm worried about reef-safety becuase I will be keeping LPS, SPS, and some Zoas in the tank as well as the fish. I'm also relatively new to the game, (Had a 55 gallon for a couple years and had to take it down because of moving) so any tips/thoughts are welcome.

Tank: Glasscages 120g w/ 42gal sump (5'x21"x22")
Lighting: 2x AI Primes & 1 Kessil

Livestock:
Various crabs/snails
Deresa Clam
Tuxedo Urchin
White Tail Bristletooth Tang
Yellow Tang
Foxface Rabbitfish
4x Banggai Cardinal
Melanarus Wrasse
Shark Fin Naoko's Fairy Wrasse
Helfrichi Firefish Goby
yellow Watchman Goby
Diamond Goby
2x Percula Clown
 
I wouldn’t put a trigger or angelfish in a 5ft tank with the stocking list you made. I would get rid of 1 of the tangs and remove either the foxface or Melanurus and replace that one with a “smaller” type of trigger or angelfish.

I agree, dwarf angels like flame back, coral beauty, flame, cherub etc can be a substitute
