Stocking order advice for last three fish

[Sierra_Bravo]

I would welcome your suggestions on which order to place the last three fish on our list for our 120g mixed reef tank.

The remaining three fish we'd like are:
Sargassum trigger
Mystery wrasse
White tail bristletooth tang

Current inhabitants include:
Two ocellaris clowns
One yellow watchman/pistol combo
CUC invertebrates: snails, small hermits, bristle stars, cuke, two peppermint shrimp
Some SPS and LPS frags and a torch

In quarantine are:
Five chromis


These are still purchases down the road but all three seem to be opportunistic buys since they are only in stock on occasion. I'm not sure if it will make that much of a difference in what order we add the trigger, tang and wrasse...but that's why I'm asking the community.

One additional question: I'd love to add a purple tang to the mix as well, but I'm pretty sure that will push it over the edge on both quantity of fish for a 120 and create aggressive behavior. Anyone care to reinforce that thought so I stop thinking about it?

I would add in the order of Tang, Wrasse, Trigger - but be aware that though some Xanthichthys triggers get along well with everyone, you are taking a risk with shrimps and CUC.

The purple tang is a different genus from the other, but is among the more aggressive of his genus. Risk exists, but may be based on the temperaments of individual fish.

The order of the 3 fish doesn't really matter, each can handle itself.

Purple tangs can vary greatly in temperament. But it should be able to work.

what about a copperband butterfly
