Stocking list

Ok i made a post before about what to put in my 90 mixed reef and here is what I'm putting:
Royal Gramma
True Percula Clown - Pair *Have had for more than a month
Flame Angel *Just bought
White Cheek Tang
Green Mandarin Goby (i have read that these are preferred to have in a tank over 6 months or more)

Also can anyone name what else i could put in (compatibility wise) that wouldnt harm corals, or inverts or the other fish when i get the rest of them?

Keep an eye on the Flame Angel. They sometimes nip at LPS. You could add a blenny or goby of some sort. Blennys have lots of personality and I've always liked gobies paired with a pistol shrimp. A fairy or flasher wrasse would also make a good addition if you have a lid, though I would wait to see what your pod population is like after you add the mandarin. Many wrasses will compete with the mandarin for pods.

Let me second handapanda. Starvation is a big problem with Mandarins. I would avoid fast moving fish that will grab pods before your hummingbird-like Mandarin can get there.
