What order and when should I add these fish after cycling?
 
IMO I would add the lyrtails and clowns last, the other fish look peaceful. I would add 1 or 2 fish once a month, give time in between each addition for the bacteria to catch up to the new bioload. Good luck
 
I understand why to add the anthias last but I’m confused about the clownfish
Clown fish are very aggressive especially with fish of their own size but they really dont care and will go after bigger stuff too. I agree add the clown last.
