You've got a lot of fairy wrasses on there, I would check with @evolved and @eatbreakfast on the compatibility of these species as well as a recommended order for adding the compatible members to the tank.

#reefsquad, anything else worth mentioning?

Might want to consider waiting for a few months for the "Tiger Sand Conch" until there is something in the sand for it to consume.

Here is a very useful chart to determine Fairy Wrasse compatibility. Not sure if you used it.

Those wrasses will work together.

Add the combtooth blenny later in the order.

I'm sure TJ or Hunter will be along shortly. The chart @Brew12 linked is invaluable in helping plans for a Cirrhilabrus heavy tank!

That said I don't see any major problems with this wrasse wise. The number of fairy wrasses is fine, could probably even keep a few more in a tank this size. The Lineatus and Pink Margin are both a little testy and in the same complex. I've kept them together in a 6 foot tank without problem so it can be done. Just use an acclimation box. I would add the Lineatus/Pink Margin duo together and last but it's probably not a necessity.

Son of a gun, @eatbreakfast types faster than me...and more to the point!

Oh, and good luck with the Black combtooth blenny. Mine liked to much on montis and some SPS. Hardest fish I've ever tried to catch!

I had a brunneus and it was on the aggressive side.

In a 280g it will be fine.
