I'm looking for anecdotal help based on experience. I'm soon stocking my tank and I am going for a relatively peaceful community. Does anyone see a problem with the following? Is there any fish that should go in first, last or somewhere in the middle? My biggest concern is will a Yellow Tang come in and cause a ruckus? Thanks in advance.

Before it starts, I know I need space, I know I need pods, my tank is cycled and I'm not dumping this all in at one time. This is my complete stock list.

Red Mandarin
One Spot Foxface
Sailfin Blenny
Copperband Butterflyfish
Ocellaris Clown (pair)
Orange Stripe Prawn Goby with a pistol shrimp buddy
Red Saddled Anthais (3-5)
Royal Gramma Basslet
Helfrichi Firefish (pair)
Orange-Black Fairy Wrasse
Yellow Tang (big concern)
 
Two firefish could be a problem unless they are a bonded pair.

Yellow tang may be a problem with CBB.

Add cbb early and yt last.
 
I definitely will stick with bonded pairs for the clowns and firefish. If I cant find that, I'll go with a single fish.
I'm really torn between the CBB and YT. I prefer the look of the CBB but the energy I've seen in YT. I'll follow your advice and if all else fails my LFS will take it back. I supply some of their freshwater fish. haha
 
The clowns will pair easily , just buy two small ones.

You might want another fairy wrasse to help the orange back keep his color
