Fish compatibility question (done some research already)

[ether]

Hi all,
I'm planning out an upgrade to my current tank. It will be about 100 gallons, about 3ft wide by 30in deep by 24in tall. I'm looking at the list of fish below and hoping folks with experience can let me know if they can spot any issues. I know I may not be able to fit *all* of these in the tank, but before I start eliminating due to size, I want to see if there are any I have to eliminate due to compatibility issues. These appear to be ok per the compatibility charts with a few questionable exceptions:
1. Can I keep the different wrasse species together?
2. The chart lists the following as "caution" but looking at the fish descriptions I can't figure out why: anthias w/ anthinas, blennies w/ basslets, blennies w/ cardinals, dartfish w/ dartfish, dartfish w/ basslets, dragonets w/ basslets, and dragonets w/ blennies. Are any of these combinations really an issue?

The goal of the tank is to create an active mixed reef tank with as much color, variety, and movement as possible. Money is not an issue, but I'm also not looking to spend for the sake of having expensive stuff. Suggestions for alternate fish that are more colorful, active, better suited, etc. are welcome.

Here's the list:
1. Clownfish pair
2. Court Jester Goby
3. Mandarin
4. Blue Dot Jawfish
5. Yellow Prawn Goby w/ pistol shrimp
6. Purple or Helfrichi's firefish
7. Anthias: princess or bartlett's (how many should I get? 1 of each ok?)
8. Chromis: blue/green, blue, agile (how many of each are ideal? Can I get 1 of each?)
9. Fairy wrasses: whip fin, red velvet, pink margin, better options? (how many of each, can I get 1 of each?)
10. Royal Gramma
11. Flasher wrasse: Carpenter's or McCosker's
12. Forktail blenny
13. Cardinalfish: 1x PJ and 1x kaudern's
14. Zebra barred dartfish
15. Leopard Wrasse

Will also have snails, conchs, fire and cleaner shrimp,clams, anemone, hermits, hopefully porcelain crab, acro crab, blue banded coral shrimp

Thanks!

i'd read that on the fairy wrasses

Here's the list:
1. Clownfish pair - Good
2. Court Jester Goby - Kind of a smaller fish, he might get lost in the system
3. Mandarin - If you get Wrasses they may/will out compete him for pods so make sure he is getting his fill
4. Blue Dot Jawfish - no issues just make sure you have a deep enough sand bed for it
5. Yellow Prawn Goby w/ pistol shrimp - Good
6. Purple or Helfrichi's firefish -okay may get scared by the wrasses
7. Anthias: princess or bartlett's (how many should I get? 1 of each ok?)- pick one species and get like 4-5 may require multiple feedings
8. Chromis: blue/green, blue, agile (how many of each are ideal? Can I get 1 of each?) -I would skip these they are notorious for killing each other until only 1 remains
9. Fairy wrasses: whip fin, red velvet, pink margin, better options? (how many of each, can I get 1 of each?) - I would consult the reef safe wrasse lovers thread and the fairy wrasse compatibility chart in the above thread
10. Royal Gramma - good
11. Flasher wrasse: Carpenter's or McCosker's - why not both? Good either way
12. Forktail blenny- I would swap it with a lawnmower blenny or a starry blenny
13. Cardinalfish: 1x PJ and 1x kaudern's - I would pick one species and do a trio to try and get a mating pair
14. Zebra barred dartfish- Dont know how well they would mesh with the firefish
15. Leopard Wrasse- again may get out competed for food from the other wrasses

I like this list alot! Obviously you will need to invest in a top otherwise most of these guys can/will jump out. Also make sure you are introducing enough pods for the mandarin and other fish.

I'd ditch the B/G Chromis, they tend to kill each other, mine did as well as others on R2R having the same results.
The Blue banded coral shrimp may kill the other shrimp
