180 gallon stocking

Been contemplating an upgrade lately, most likely it's going to be a 180. How does this fish list look?

Current fish in my 75 gallon:
Vrolik's Wrasse
Exquisite Wrasse
Midas Blenny
2x Clowns

New fish:
5x Resplendent Anthias
5x Ignitus Anthias
5x Blue Green Chromis
Yellow Tang
Powder Blue Tang *tangs added last at the same time

Too many fish? Good anthias/blue green chromis combo?

Just not sure the amount of anthias I should add, and if I should do two groups or not. Also not sure about the chromis picking on the anthias.

Seems like that should be okay, Anthias require to be fed 4 times a day or they won't last.

FWIW, I have a single lyretail anthias (lost the others during QT), and it seems to be doing fine after 20 months with feedings once or twice daily.

I think the fish list is fine. Both the anthias and chromis need multiple daily feedings, particularly resplendents that tend to only eat smaller foods. I have no issue with my chromis pair bothering any of my anthias.
