Off the top
Seahorse & fish not a good idea in home aquaria, I would think the Mandarin wont make it with all the other fish (haven't had one but from things I've read & other's posts.
Anemone crab= Needs particular Anemone I believe
If you go to LiveAquaria.com they do a decent job of compatibility

 

[Question]

Any suggestions on fish friendly mini anemone?

Answered jn your original post

75 gallon tall reef tank not set up yet still in planning stages
Feather duster
Purple whip gorgonian(I would wait on any true gorgonians till you have all other coral groups under your belt they can be a challenge)
Red ogo algae
Sea squirt(same advice for the gorgorian)
Recordea rainbow of color

Fish
Basket starfish - starfish need a very mature tank to survive(at least 2-3 years would be my advice , plus i dont think basket stars would be a great choice imo.
Dusty jawfish
Blue head wrasse (may eat some of the invertebrates listed here)
Red firefish(great fish, dont keep with aggressive fish)
Neon Goby pair?(peaceful)
Watchmen Goby pair?(see below)
Lawnmower blenny
Boxing crab
Anemone crab (form a symbiotic relationship to a particular genus i believe, rarely listed on sale sites)
Pistol shrimp(if this direction would look at Divers Den where goby pairs with a paired shrimp are listed often)
Cleaner shrimp (dont add with fish that eat shrimp)
Cherub angelfish(can take a liking to corals, some individuals can be aggressive)
Turbo snails(drip acclimate snails, ime they dont do well with short acclamations)
Royal gramma(peaceful)
Fish we like but not sure of compatibility
Dwarf seahorse(best kept in sea horse species specific tanks)
Kole tang (size wise yes, may not mix with other algae eaters like the lawnmower blenny in a 75)
Manderin( need a mature tank of lots rocks, large refugium to keeps its insatiable pod appetite quenched)
Butterfly fish any - most can take a liking to corals
Citrin Goby(peaceful)

Would limit yourself to 6 fish or so. Add slowly one species at a time, most agressive last.

 

[Question]

I know just trying to figure out my stock list so I can add slowly...... any suggestions on corals?not to find of zoa's so I could do the gobys together with no aggression? Also I am not afraid to add a few different foods to help a sea squirt plus it about 2 inches or so

A soft coral i really like is my corky finger. Not very colorful but lots of movement, doesnt spread like crazy.

Most Lps corals are rather forgiving in newer tanks. As long as alkalinity is stable and flow and light are somewhat near their liking. Most will survive. Euphylia members would be my choice for a first coral, if skipping softies.

Will let more experienced fish keepers give their thoughts on multiple gobies. I believe it will require lots of hiding places in rock work, like 3 per fish and some dont like conspecifics.

 

[Question]

Plan on several caves so they can pick ty for your advice

There are some partly photosynthetic gorgonians, stick with those as they are easier than other gorgonians.

Rock flower anemone and mini maxi anemones are small, easy, well behaved anemones.

Seahorses need a specific tank.

Blue head wrasse can be aggressive and will eat inverts.

Most butterfly species eat coral. Many species are too big for a 75g together.

Most gobies coexist.

75g is borderline for a kole.

For anenome I would do rockflower, they are really beautiful and won't eat fish, while carpets will

Agreed with the Bluehead. They are known to harass smaller/peaceful fish and really need to be with similar sized fish that aren't afraid to stick up for themselves. @ The OP, I can't think of a single butterfly that would work in a 75 gallon that wouldn't be a coral/invert muncher as well and butterflyfish are easily bullied by more assertive fish (I definitely wouldn't put them with a bluehead). If you had a larger tank, then the Pyramid Butterfly is the one to go for if you want a relatively reef safe butterflyfish.

Ok skipping the blue head. would the crabs like the rockflower anemone.? And any fish suggestions for me to check out?
