Compatability

I am getting ready to place an order for some fish but I really need to get an opinion on compatability. I have the following:
pair of b&w clowns
pair of chromis
mandarin
tail spot
coral beauty

I am ordering:
melanurus
purple firefish
orchid dottyback
midas blenny
clown fairy wrasse aka a red head wrasse
 
I think you should be fine if its all going into your 110 and you have a good source of pods and adequate shelter and hiding spots. The purple fire fish may be a little timid in that group, but i'm sure will settle in. my main concern would be that you've got a few jumpers on your hands with that rimless. Will it be covered?

There may be issues among those three, in that the firefish can be very easily intimidated. Not a certainty though.
 
Cubby, I am making a cover, as much as I would like not to. There are just really no fish that I want that don't or won't jump. I learned this the hard way. I have lots of LR and a pretty good refuge with pods that I am am stocking for my mandarin. I have pods but I still add a few once a month just in case. The tank is only 6 months new.

Snorvich,
Hopefully they can figure it out. My other concern is the new arrivals need to go into my 35g for several weeks and that already has a pair of A. Ocellaris. It does have LR and a small sump/fuge. I want to get all of these fish at one time to do the quarantine just once. I really wanted to get a leopard wrasse, but I don't think I have the experience for it. IIRC you have them.
