Would a Carpenter or McClosker Flasher work as a substitute for the six line?

Hi there,
In the process of upgrading my 60 gallon FOWLR to a 90 gallon reef tank with a 30 gallon sump/fuge. Working on getting my fish list put together and had some questions (of course)
=)
I currently have:
1 x Salarias ramosus
1 x Gobiodon strangulatus
1 x Gobiodon atrangulatus
1 x Gobiodon citrinus
1 x Valenciennea strigata
2 x Nemateleotris magnifica
And a bonded pair of Amphiprion ocellaris
I would like to add:
1 x Centropyge loriculus
And it was suggested to me to add:
1 x Zebrasoma flavescens
-or-
1 x Zebrasoma xanthurum
-and-
Ctenochaetus flavicauda
I originally planned on adding the Zebrasoma flavescens in addition to 3-5 Pseudanthias squamipinnis (this was also by suggestion), but I am wary of adding the anthias because they get so big. I want something my fish can grow into instead of grow out of.
***I do plan on adding a m/f pair of Synchiropus splendidus once my pod population has been established (waiting about a year).
If I could do the list of fish I have, in addition to the flame angel, the yellow tang, the bristletooth tang, and a single six line wrasse (all added last), that would be ideal, but it's understood if that is one to many tangs in the tank. But, I think I'd rather skip the anthias all together. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry for such a long post!
Thank you!

New thoughts...65 Gallon (36x18x24) with a 20 gallon sump, mixed reef and a DSB. Was considering the following fish. Could I add more or just about right for bioload? What order should they be added as well? Thanks for the help!
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
Firefish, Helfrichi*
Blue Spot Jawfish (lower temp)
Green Mandarin (Mature Tank)
Could I fit?
Spotted Cardinalfish
and/or Gold Assessor Basslet

Okay I have a 29 gallon setup for about a year now with lots of rock and sand. In another year I would like to upgrade to a 50 or 75 gallon. Right now I have 3 fish all about an inch long:
sixline wrasse
ocellaris clown
bluegreen chromis
plus 7 nassarius snails and a peppermint shrimp
I feed the fish heavy and they all get along. I hope the sixline doesn't get territorial.
I would like to add soon:
captive bred kaudern's cardinal ~1"
royal gramma ~1"
sixline wrasse
ocellaris clown
bluegreen chromis
plus 7 nassarius snails and a peppermint shrimp

I have 220 DT setup for 9 months FOWLR with plans to go mixed reef in a few more months.
Current stock includes:
2) snowflake clowns
3) pajama cardinals
1) Banggai cardinal
2) firefish gobies
1) lawn mower Blenny
1) fire shrimp
4) serpent stars
1) sand sifting star
Nassarius
Ceriths
Astreas
Cucumbers
Local Petco is very good with saltwater fish and has a Sailfin Tang that looks healthy but has been hanging out for a while.
Any concerns with this guy in my DT?
He's only about 5" now so he should be fine in my 29 QT for a while.

Rebuilding First SW tank
Rebuilding First SW tank
46 gal mixed reef with yellow wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus) and Choral Beauty. Moved everything else to the new 120 which I will ask about in my next post. Have mostly soft corals with some frogspawn, Bubble coral, Ricordea, Purple plate sponge and Birdsnest. Want to add more SPS in time.
What additional fish can i add to this system? The wrasse and Coral Beauty are shy and there is not much visibly happening.
Could I add a pajama cardinal?
Hoping to include a goby variety with a matching shrimp. Would a yellow watchman and a banded pistol shrimp be acceptable? Tank stays at a consistent 80 degrees F. Is this a problem for goby varieties?
This system has been in stable operation for 18months. It has had a HOB refugium and a good population of pods for almost a year. I would like to add a dragonet. Any species recommended?
I see people adding multiple wrasses to larger tanks. with the yellow wrasse am i limited? Could I add a Ruby Head, Six Line or McCoskers wrasse?

Current inhabitants:
2 lyretail Anthias

Blue Tang
Planning for this to be a FOWLR although there are some button polyps and frogspawn corals currently in the tank.
Can we add:
harlequin tusk?
Puffer, Dogface or Porcupine?
Copper Banded Butterfly? or other species?
Boxfish?
All of the current inhabitants are approximately 3 inches in size
Thanks for your input.

40 gallon tank, 16 gallon sump. filter sock, skimmer, refuge growing chaeto run 24/7, GFO/GAC. Para reads phos .03, nitrate 5. Temp is run lower, generally in the 78~ region.
Currently growing SPS and LPS with ease. Would like to maintain a light bioload but fish seems very inactive with fish that hide a lot.
Current stock list:
Pair of snowflake clowns (the only active fish)
Pair of helfrechi firefish (always hiding, never visible)
Yasha goby w/ pistol shrimp (always hiding)
Flame angel (gazing but hardly ever shows himself)
Cleaner shrimp
Various snails
Interested in adding a wrasse or two (McCoskers/another type of flasher or a mystery). I have a net covering my tank. Thoughts?

C. solorensis needs a larger tank and I would never recommend a six line because of its aggressiveness. A McCoskers would be fine
your tank is not really large enough for highly active fish such as these
Thanks for the response. 90g with 30g sump w/live rock and protein skimmer Revised:
Current:
2 Ocellaris clowns
neon goby
Lawnmower blennie
Royal gramma
coral banded shrimp
pistol shrimp
I would like to add the following:
Randal orange striped prawn goby
Firefish x 2 (male and a female)
green chromis x 5
green mandarin (after tank is well established, i have already started to dose with pods)
