    Your tank would be 62 gallons, so I wouldn't put a Yellow Tang. I'm not sure on the requirements on the Wrasses.

    I would recommend you start a separate thread for your questions, but while I'm here: Surely too small of a tank for a yellow tang. Be very careful with Maroons; often a very aggressive clown. A leopard will easily out-compete a mandarin for pods in that size of tank; you'd be better off with the mystery wrasse - but know they get quite large and will eat ornamental shrimp once of size.

    Alright, back to the topic:

    I'll comment in blue:
    As for the Halichoeres listed, any of them could be fine. Note that mixing Halichoeres is far from a prescribed science - it doesn't always work. So choosing more than one may or may not be do-able. Also know how to tell claudia apart from ornatissimus if you choose such; you do NOT want the latter.

    Thanks!

    Does order in which I add them matter? Should I try adding in groups, or one a month ok etc?

    Thank you.

    Order - not so much. But adding them in groups or altogether can be helpful.
