Order of addition

I have a 75g reef tank with 40g sump. Currently there are two carpenter's flasher wrasses in the tank as the first inhabitants because of their skittish nature. In the future i was looking to add either a kole tang or tomini tang, a randal's goby/shrimp pair, and a pair of clownfish. What would be the order of adding those remaining fish based on expected aggression/compatibility?

Depends on the clowns, I have had a few different pairs of occ clowns even spawning pairs laying eggs and they were very peaceful. With the fish you are looking at I would say it would be safe in any order. But I would add the shrimp goby pair first to give them time to find a spot in the tank. So,e fish will go after the shrimp, let them get a head start.

I'd agree the clowns shouldn't be a problem in that size system if they are a more peaceful species. The fish on your list seem pretty docile aside from the tang but he shouldn't go after any of the fish that you mentioned
 
goby and shrimp first. Tang last if adding docile clowns like true percs. If more aggressive clowns add them last.
