Tank stocking advice

I've got a 180 currently with a stock list as such:

Niger Trigger
Juvi Red Coris Wrasse
Desjardini Tang
Bicolor Angel
Bicolor Goatfish (future)
Zebra Eel (future)

All are well behaved and around the same size (3-4 inch range)

I'm looking to add some anthias to the tank but want to know what I could reasonably consider. Is it possible that I could get away with adding three anthias or is that too much bioload?

One fish per 10 gallons is the general rule, I think....
Three Anthias in a tank your size would be perfectly fine (I happen to have 3 Lyre Tail Anthias in my 90 - one male and two females an I love them).
In your aggressive tank however, I'd be worried about your Trigger giving them a hard time (bullying them).
