    The Possum Wrasse is extremely shy and the least aggresive of all the fish on your list(except the gobies) which is why I suggest you add it before the clowns.

    definately want to get the tank established with pods before adding the copper banded and the scooter. Make sure the copper banded is eating before buying it.

    As far as the anthias, they require 3-4 times a day feeding, so you will want to make sure you have an automatic feeder on the tank. They like to be kept in odd numbers, 1,3,5 etc.

    Actually inorder to keep more than one of that Anthias you need atleast 150 gallons and these Anthias do good by themselves. And I know about the copper and dragonet but I wish the vid was working it shows a method of feeding copperbands.
