    sounds ok to me not that experinced but i have most of those fish together with little to no issues. just to tell you the six lines a cool fish but i feel the royal gamma makes more time to come say hi instead of darting for the rock like my six line does.

    IMO add the Yellow Tang last especially with such other docile fish u are adding. Tangs can be fairly agressive and the Yellows seem to be the worst of the bunch. If the other fish are added first the Tang would be less likely to harrass them. Good Choices though! ;D

    Good list, add the firefish at the same time to minimize any chance of fighting. The Gramma will most likely be more visible than the the wrasse. The wrasse may also make it hard to introduce any small fish in the future. Your tank size is in your favor to prevent this issue.

    Also blennys might damage soft coral and clams.

    Sadly yes, you never know if it will or not either. It just all of a sudden does.

    Well I had an ocellaris clown, royal gramma, falco hawkfish, fiirefish, and algae blenny and they all got along well except for the algae blenny and hawkfish, and im assuming that because they both kind of swim across the sand rather then swim like other fish. Maybe this can give you some advice if you're thinking of some compatible fish
