My 90 gallon has been cycled for 2 weeks now and my 1 b+w ocellaris is already in the tank from last wednesday. i plan to slowly add some new fish but i was wondering what order i should go in, and which fish should be next. Here is my list of what i plan to add: 2 B+W ocellaris clowns (1 is already in tank)
1 yellow tang
1 yellow eyed kole tang
3 anthias (haven't decided which type)
1 Goby shrimp pair
2 wrasse pairs (undecided on type)
1 royal gramma


Which should go in next??
 
You want to go from least aggressive to most aggressive. The clown probably should have been a little later. None of those fish are particularly aggressive, so I would add the tangs last just by size.
 
I agree with the above, Royal Gramma's are pretty aggresive and territoral as well. Put him in either second to last before the tangs or after the tangs. Make sure your tangs are quarantined first. You don't want ich wiping out all your new fish and tangs are ich magnets!
