you will definatly need to narrow your list down you have picked some very incompatable species I will try to help you out wht what i do know about these fish
(1)snowflake 24">yes with lots of rock to hid in
(2)lion fish 6" to 8">yes with somewhat larger fish species, if it fits in his mouth he will eat it..
(3)clown trigger 3 ">you should pick 1 trigger they are very territorial fish do not live well together caution will nip at lion
niger trigger 5">same as above
(4)yellow tang 4" and 6">yes
(5)powder blue tang 6">yes
(6)maroon gold stripehclown 3 1/2 "yes if not to small for lion to eat.and yes you can keep up to 2 maroons together .make sure if not a mated pair when purchased add larger clown if you try to add smaller there will be agression
(7)harlequin tusk 5"I have not owned this fish but from what I have heard they are very agressive major caution
(8)lunare wrasse 5">wrasses do not make good comunity fish if you realy have to keep one select just one they are highly agressive do not take to other like species well
(9)dragon wrasse 6"
(10)porcupine puffer 5">yes should be fine as no one bothers him
(11)toby puffer 5" >iffy
2 hermit crab 1 1/2 >"not with trigger, puffer or wrasses
(12)emperor angel >yes.but I dont have any angels to use as reference
(13)miniatus grouper>yes
my biggest suggestion here is to cut this list in half most of these species get very large and very territorial they will normally do well with other species to a point if not enough room you will have agression not to mention the bioload on your tank.this is the best from my knowledge.I hope this helps

That really is a lot of fish for a 225 gallon tank...Especially being only 4'X3'....
I'd suggest holding off on any more additions, and see how these play out...

If they are still small there probably wont be much aggression towards each other but when they get bigger.... Best of luck...

Pull the power blue, they are the more difficult of the tangs and also get ich alot more due to the fact any slight temp change ph or chemical change sets of ich. You need to act fast. With your fish load you might have to pull all the rock, ad a filter and hypo the tank, Un less you have a huge qt tank. Man I hope you don't have ich. It will not be a fun venture. But you should post pics so we can help you out and maybe prevent a nightmare.

ich will host in live rock only when it is in the free floating stage. This is when it then looks for a fish. Aan if their are no fish it dies. It take 2-3 weeks to rid a tank of ich. Only is no fish are in it. Also hypo the qt, not the main it will kill the live rock. Read the post BETH put up.
