    Well if that isn't an aggressive FOWLR list of fish, than I don't know what is 8)

    How big is the Dragon Wrasse, or should I say Rock Mover :p They are amazing looking when juvenile!

    3 inches. I've had the dragon wrasse for a couple months now and it has barely grown. This is a good thing for me because I want it to stay a juvenile as long as possible. I imagine it grows slowly due to the amount of time spent under the sand giving it has less opportunity to eat.

    I hate to go tang police on you but..... Thats quite alot of agressive fish that will get very big for a 210. Its also generally recommended to NOT mix triggers and lions (and some puffers) as they will nip away at the lions fins. You are already seeing some agression/defence mechanisms between the puffers (your picture). Not to mention the lion will quite possibly grow faster than the clowns, once that happens the clowns will help the lion grow. The dragon wrasse will also grow slower than the lion and can quite possibly meet the same fate.

    So far, the Triggers get along with everybody. The Puffers hate each other. The Tangs do their own thing. The Dragon Wrasse is aggressive for his size. The Lionfish is mean and growing fast.

    Do you think an Anemone will help protect the Maroon Clowns?

    They nearly always do at first. You will most likely have beatings and deaths because of your stocking. I hope you don't, but hope isn't a good strategy. That sailfin is a goner once the Sohal gets mean. I would worry about the other fish too and wonder why you didn't put the clown trigger in last?
