Your compatibility chart is wrong if you are considering a royal dottyback (bicolor pseudochromis). These are extremely aggressive. I would get the strawberry. They are a bright purple/pink and are the most docile of them all.

2nd on the bicolor pseudochromis! I had one that thought the whole tank was his territory. I don't think he injured any of my fish, but he had them all in hiding. I finally got him out with a homemade fish trap after several days of trying. He went for a ride back to the LFS. I think I would have paid them to take him for me...

I'd watch the school of chromis also... they are known for picking each other off
