Hi! So I'm in the process of planning out a 50 Gallon Macro Algae aquarium, with a few softy, lps, nps, gorgs as well. I was wondering if this stocking plan would be ok:

4-5 Longspine Cardinals
A pair of Orange Spot File Fish from Divers Den
A Ruby Red Dragonet (Also from DD)

My original stocking plan was me wanting to have a Skunk or Yellow Tilefish instead of the cardinals and have it grow out before moving it, but after seeing a full grown skunk at the lfs, I decided it would be kind of bad for the fish. Another fish im possibly considering is a Pearly Jawfish, but it could go after the group of Pederson's Cleaner shrimp I want to have. Tell me your thoughts!
 
Ooh, Oxymonocanthus, I haven't seen those in a while!

I don't see any reason why extended aggression would happen. They all have fairly different body shapes, and different niches as well. Your tank doesn't sound overstocked to me either.
