1 - Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa)
1 - Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loricula)
1 - Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus leucosternon)
1 - Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma flavescens)

How big is the tank? Is this your first tank? Depending on the size of your tank the firefish and dwarf angels might not get along too well. I don't know much about butterflys but they can be challenging to keep as well and some are ok when kept together and some not.

I like butterflies, so my advice is going to be tempered with that bias.

I'd probably ditch the emperor and the blue tang, they get kind of big, even for a 180.

I'd probably add some pyramid butterflies, or perhaps saddleback butterfly. Most butterflies will get along with each other, although a definite pecking order gets established.
 
Those toby puffers are notorious nippers. I could never catch mine in the act but my clowns had perfect semi circle bites out of there fins.
