Others can comment on the compatibility as between these fish and also on the bioload for your tank.

I'll just say that a couple of the fish you've identified - the mystery wrasse and hawkfish - are not compatible with shrimp.

ive always had hawkfish with shrimp and for the mystery wrasse ive never heard of one going after shrimp. the tamarin wrasse is the one I would be worried about

If you search for "mystery wrasse" and shrimp, you'll see a lot of posts on this subject. They tend to do this as they get older. My own experience was typical. I had a mystery that for several years was a model citizen. Then one day, he was swimming around with a cleaner shrimp's antennae hanging out of his mouth. Others have reported similar experiences with hawkfish.

I'm not saying it's inevitable. But your post seemed to invite opinions on your stocklist and I'm just giving you mine.

oh no opinons welcome sorry if that came across wrong. ha I believe it that as they get older they might eat them but thats ok im going to get them anyways lol ill take the risk

IMO, you have too many big fish. I wouldn't have more than 3 fish that get larger in size (tangs, rabbitfish, triggers, angels, etc.) in a 210 gallon tank. Others can comment, but they are going to take up a large chunk of your bio-load.

You might also be a little overstocked. What kind of reef are you going to have?

if i were to narrow it down I would take out the jawfish, gobies, and regal/flagfin angel.

ha mayeb that would help a bit

and my reef has just about everything in it. but mainly lps, softies, zoas, mushrooms, and a few SPS
