I need a bit of help in selecting fishes for my 75 gallon Hex aquarium.

It is 2 month old, and it finished cycling about 5weeks ago.

Currently I have Green Star Polyps ,Mushroom and Zoanthus , and some Marco alage, 5 snails in tank.

Since it's odd shape tank(6X 14"X30" panels) there is not much room to swim to side to side.

I am thinking of the following fish and am welcome to any advice regarding my selection

1.1 or mated pair of Ocellaris Clownfish

2.Flame Angel or Multiclored Angelfish

3.1 ORA mandarinfish

4.3 Blue Green Reef Chromis

5.Catalina Goby or Yellow Clown Goby

In what order sholud I add the fish?

My tank has 120 lb Live rocks,165 lb Live sands.

I'd like to get coloerful fish, do you have any other good fish suggestion?
 
catalina gobies are cold water species, they wont do so well in a warmer tank like yours.

I think maybe a small wrasse like an opossum wrasse would be okey doke. There are also cardinal fish you could pick from, and perhaps some basslets?
 
clowns are a good choice.stay away from the mandarin till you establish the tank for a few onths and get pod population up and a nice wrasse would be great
 
All good advise! I will make note of MY situation with a Flame Angel. Mine was the 5th of 7 fish added and is doing very well. Never aggressive and actually pals around with my FoxFace. Mine are well fed so I'm sure that helps. I will be adding at least one, possibly 2 more fish over the next several months and do not expect any problems.
 
Clowns are a good choice. IMO, the tank won't have enough swimming room for a flame angel or enough space for a mandarin.

Some of the smaller blennies would work well, as would a lot of the gobies. A Banggai or trio of PJ cardinals would work as well.
