stocking plans - 46bow +15h sump

[mattgreene22]

Looking for input and ideas. First time in ages I've had a salt tank up and running....last time it was all coral too. This time the wife says fish before coral, but I still plan to have some lps (frogspawn, hammer, torch, acans) and a few sps (mostly monti). I've got about 40lbs live rock from a well established tank....two "islands" with a cave in each.

So thinking....
1 ocellaris (asap)

Soon...
1 wrasse (flasher...other ideas???)
2 skunk cleaner shrimp

A bit later...
3 anthias (need recommendations on species, if this would even work)

next spring...
Mandarin (ora or other trainable eater)

Finally....
Potters Angel (willing to risk it...so beautiful)

Thoughts on this plan? Been brain storming a bit, but need the sanity checks and redirects....and new ideas. Thx!

Several views, but no feedback? Here is the current aquascape

I would drop the 3 anthia's and get one sunburst anthia. I almost got a potters but got a flame since the potters are more shy.

I wouldn't even get anthias, but that's me. I recommend a possum/pink streaked wrasse.
Look into cardinalfish.

No anthias ... Assessors would be nice . Fridmani pseudocromis would be nice too.

You guys are bumming me out when you say no anthias....but I value the input. Was thinking of maybe a yellow accessor....need to check into that wrasse. I love the look of the pseudochromis....but their temperment makes me nervous. This is great! Other ideas?

Also noticed my fts didn't come through in earlier post, trying again:

you can get one sunburst anthia. doesn't swim at the top but is a great looking fish and has good coloring.

assessor is bright, royal gramma is better than pseudochromis.

Yeah, the Sunburst looks pretty cool...but I don't like that really prefers the bottom. If had to do a single anthias in order to keep one...I kind of like this guy:
Highfin Perchlet (Plectranthias sp.) -http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+20+1917&pcatid=1917

If I didn't want to give up on the 3 anthias part of the equation....thoughts on these:
Resplendent Anthias (Pseudanthias pulcherrimus) - http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+20+2264&pcatid=2264

Was thinking I'd also get one of these at some point too:
Tail Spot Blenny (Ecsenius stigmatura) - http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+23+2229&pcatid=2229

Any suggestions on the wrasse(s)?
