    i would take out your anthias and your yellow tang to start off at least i think the cleaners are fine to stay imo

    is your tank showing any signs of algea?

    are any of your fish fighting?

    If they're getting along, I'd say leave them. I read an article about how they are territorial and don't often last in #s larger than 2. IDK that there's any truth in this, I'm not an expert. I'll see if I can find that article again.
