I came up with a few groups of fish selections for my 75 gal tank.. which one do you guys think? and any suggestions? Working on a third group, so I am open to suggestions for fish I haven't considered yet.
I have a pair of clowns from my nano that will be moved to the larger tank. they must stay. It will be mixed reef as well.

Wrasse Group:
2 clowns
Blue star leopard wrasse
potters leopard wrasse
ornate leopard wrasse
yellow coris wrasse,
red head Solon wrasse
melanarus wrasse
1 or 2 fairy wrasse

Mixed Group:
2 Clowns
Kole Tang
Midas Blenny
Blue Spot Goby
Royal Gamma
Fairy Wrasse
One Spot Foxface
 
Gramma may not get along with wrasse but with so many you may be fine.

Looks like a cool fish list otherwise. I noticed fairy wrasse are both in the wrasse group and mixed group. Are these either or or all of the above and introduced in groups. I would add the gramma with wrasse to improve your chances of that not going awry but you could also add him afterwards and probably still be fine if you're trying to add them all.

Foxface get pretty large so you may eventually need to rehome it. The leopards will do best in a very established tank so you may reverse your order or add them as a trio later.
 
I do want a wrasse in the tank- but if it's impossible in a non-wrasse tank, I can not get one.

The groups are not mandatory- I can change out if a species does not work. It's two separate groups of fish, I'll be doing either group, not both

I'm confused, I see no issue with adding wrasse to the mix but the more the merrier with wrasse IMO.
 
I'm confused too, lol. I haven't had my second cup of coffee so I am sure I am not making sense.

Wrasses- best in groups of different wrasses, than just one wrasse in a mixed tank?

Correct, as they will show off to each other, though it's not as if it will wither away on it's own.

I have frequently kept grammas and wrasses together without issue.
 
hmm.. maybe I'll swap the gamma for another wrasse of different subspecies in the mixed group

I like wrasses because they remind me of bettas.. and I used to breed them. I've always loved the female bettas and the wrasses look like them
