Butterfly, Snowflake Eel, Dog puffer, flame angel, harlequin tusk, humu trigger, and foxface. I'm probly a bit biased though as thats very close to my own stocklist.
I like the above list, personally I would substitute a purple tang, or huge maroon clown instead of the trigger.

most people apply sand after setting rock due to possibly getting and eel. When the eel makes it homes it moves the sand. If the rock is sitting on the sand rock falls. Could injure or kill eel or other fish.

I was at my LFS and a decent sized tusk ripped half the top of the head off a SFE. Id stay away from that combo.

I'd say thats the exception rather then the rule. Tusks are much more likely to go after Inverts then Fish, but I'm sure its possible.

Yes, its very important to put rock down before substrate, especially with fish like eels, wrasse, and blenny's that will likely be digging into the substrate and could cause a rockslide.
