120 gal stocklist :)

-2 black ice clownfish
-1 orchid dottyback (or royal gramma?)
-1 lawnmower blenny

-1 diamond watchman goby
-1 yellow head jawfish

-1 flame angel
-1 coral beauty angel
-1 longnose hawkfish (or falco?)

-1 foxface
-1 red headed solon fairy wrasse
-1 melanurus wrasse

-1 flame fin tomini tang
-1 white-cheek tang

So I think I got most of the tank down pat. Sorry to keep going on about it but I’m just trying to make it perfect. I took off the eel, I’ll save it for a bigger tank down the road.
I’m unsure of which hawkfish, I like both, need pros and cons. I did want a golden head sleeper goby at first but then realized if I want the yellow head/pearly jawfish, they would look wayyyy too similar. Ive read the diamond watchman being a better sand sifter anyway. Should I worry about them fighting at all?
(Each group is separated by a space to indicate which ones I will be adding at a time. Angels @ same time, Wrasse @ same time, Tangs, etc. I hope it’s correct.)
 
Some tweaks

-2 black ice clownfish
-2 purple firefish
-1 lawnmower blenny

-1 rainfords goby

-1 flame angel
-1 coral beauty angel
-1 longnose hawkfish
-1 red headed solon fairy wrasse

-1 flame fin tomini tang
-1 foxface
-1 kole tang

Is it possible to have 2 pairs of clownfish or 4 total?

Most of that looks good to me.

Stick to 1 pair of clowns.
You will most likely have to choose between the tomini and the kole. Closely related tangs in a 4 foot tank could get ugly. Those specific tangs also sometimes HATE lawnmower type blennies.

Someone will have to help you with the jawfish, since I don't have experience with them.

The rest looks fine, and includes some of my favorites.

I’ve updated to a flame fin tomini and a yellow tang. they’ll do much better
 
I'll put my two cents regarding the foxface. They get pretty big..read this as aggressive eaters. I think they may compete with the tangs and win.

I have a 120 gallon tank with a regal tang and a foxface and both times I've had a foxface they seem to eat quicker than my regal and grow really fast which comes to the other fish not getting enough food.

Just something to consider.
