Having just restarted my tank after a mushroom infestation it is time to stock it back up slowly.
As my past tank this will be a SPS dominant reef

Here is the tank info
150 Gallon (48” x 30” x 24”)
Lighting (3) Radion XR30
Skimmer Lifereef VS3-30
This is a Zeovit system


Now in my temporary tank I have the following fish that I chose to keep as I have had them all about 3 years
Mated pair of Black and White Ocellaris Clowns
Yellow watchman goby and his Pistol Shrimp buddy (aka the remodeling crew)
Royal Gramma
Green Mandarin,
Blood Shrimp


Now for my new additions I would like nice community fish that are active but relatively peaceful.
Some of the fish on my idea list are
Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse (Wetmorella nigropinnata)
Tanaka’s Pygmy Wrasse (Wetmorella tanakai)
White Banded Possum Wrasse (Wetmorella albofasciata
I understand these three are all from the same family, but I am not sure on compatibility with each other
Blue Star Leopard Wrasse, (Macropharyngodon bipartitus)
Fathead Sunburst Anthia (Serranocirrhitus latus)
Randall's Anthias (Pseudanthias randalli) (3 of these)
Helfrichi Firefish (Nemateleotris helfrichi)
Red Spot Glass Cardinalfish (Apogon parvulus) (4-5 of these)

Does anyone have any Concerns with this list or any potential additions and also any suggestions of an order to add these fish.

Thanks for reading

Your list looks good. All the fish on there are very peaceful and will do well together.

The Wetmorellas can all be kept together without issue.

Parvulus cardinals need to be fed multiple times a day.
