Would this make my 200g SPS tank overstocked?

Thinking of adding 3-4 Black Axil Chromis to these established inhabitants....

Current:
1 purple tang
4 lyrtetail anthias
1 yellow tang
1 kole tang
2 blue spotted jaw fish
2 flame hawk fish
2 pygmy whitespotted file fish
2 clownfish
 
Better think of adding at least two more tangs if the algae growth takes off on you.

Oh Dave :)

Here's my stock list in my 200:

(1) Percula Clown
(1) Kole Tang
(1) Green Chromis
(1) Bi-color Blenny
(1) Yellow Belly Royal Blue Tang
(3) Lyretail Anthias 1 male - 2 female
(4) Pajama Cardinal
(3) Square Anthias 1 male - 2 female
(1) Gold Flake Angel
(1) Diamond Watchman Goby
(1) Magnificent Foxface

Tomorrow I'll be receiving a Mueller's Butterflyfish from LA's DD. I think I have room to squeeze in a small wrasse or two before I'll be overstocked. Still lots of swimming room available :)

I think you'll be fine adding the damsels.
 
You know it's funny, but those Pajama Cardinals always attract attention from visitors. I always get "I like those fish with the spots." Meanwhile, though I like them or wouldn't have purchased them, they're not the most colorful fish in the tank.

I actually got them because I thought they'd school, but they generally find their own individual coral to hang under or around.

I'm sure you want the chromis for the same reason, but unfortunately you'll probably end up with one after a while. I did and it seems to be the norm unless you have a huge tank and can put a dozen or so in. I think there's quite a few threads on the subject.
