Stocking for 75 gallon?

I keep 3 each of P.pulcherimus and P.parvirostris in a 90g. Both stay small, eat well and not shy at all. I feed 2 times a day and they are doing fine and growing well. I'll feed 3 times on the weekends when I'm home

How would lyretails work?
 
They are a bit bigger at 5" compared to the above that max out at 3". But apart from that they are pretty much the same in terms of care, need a bit more food being bigger fish but twice a day feeding should suffice for them also. But smaller fish mean more fish, that's a personal preference.
That's my stock for my 90g
2x common clowns
2x purple fire fish
3x replendant anthias
3x sunset anthias
3x allens damsels
1x yellow watchman goby
1x mandarin

I just find lyretails much more attractive and I only want 5-7 fish in a range if sizes. So do you think a stocking below would be too much in a 75 gallon?

2x clowns
1x midas blenny
3x lyretail anthias
1x yellow tang
 
A malenarus is not going to touch your CUC. I have two in a tank with everything from astria snails to brittle stars, to tube worms, as long as they are well fed they shouldn't bother your CUC. The only thing I have had them prey on is flat worms, zoe eating nudibranch, and other small creepy crawlies that are not beneficial.

This is not always true. They are 50/50 with CUC. IME, I had one to destroy all my CUC and I had one that was a model citizen. They love flipping them over. IMO, be mindful and keep a watch if you decide to get one.
