90 Gallon Mixed Reef Stocking Approval/Recommendations

I'm setting a new 90 gallon mixed reef and 40 QT. My DT will have 120lbs of live rock and another 30lbs in the refugium. I will have roughly a 3-3.5in live sand bed. My skimmer will be the new Reef Octopus Regal 170SSS rated at: 300 gal light load, 200 medium, 120 heavy load.

The fish below are listed in order of how I would stock them pending approval from anyone with experience keeping them together. If anyone has any recommendations regarding substitutions (for something more suited or more interesting) or eliminations I would really appreciate it.

1. Tail Spot Blenny
2. Royal Gramma
3. Yasha Goby (Pair)
4. Blue Spotted Jawfish
5. True Percula Clownfish (Pair)
6. Potter's Angelfish
7. One Spot Foxface
8. Blue Hippo Tang-(would trade with LFS at about 6-7in)
9. Hoeven's Wrasse
10. Mystery Wrasse
11. Hawaiian Golden Dwarf Moray Eel- (provided approval from someone with experience)
12. Green Mandarin Dragonet-(if sufficient pod populations exist)

If I were to guess I'd say that the 2 wrasse will deplete the pod population to the point that the dragonet would slowly starve but maybe someone else will chime in.

You may want to repost in the check out your intended fish purchase thread for a quick and helpful response.
