I havbe just cycled my tank....My plan is to have have the following in my tank: 1 coral beauty, 1 clown tang, 1 powder blue tang, 3 clowns, 2 damsels, and 1 02 2 cleaner shrimp, and 1lunare wrasse. Overtime.... Does anyone see a problem with these fish getting along?

What size is your tank? We'd have to know this before we can give you any reasonable advise. But I spot something now - chances are the Lunare wrasse will eat any shrimp you put in there. Yum Yum

my tank is 100 gals. show 60" long. Thanks for the advise. I guess I could go without the wrasse. I rather have something in there cleaning. Thanks

Hello,
I would skip the clown tang, from personal experience it is an aggressive fish and gets meaner the bigger it gets. At the very least add it last so you don't have to endure it terrorizing any new tank mates. It is also a difficult fish to establish and not for a new tank either.
You should also add the powder blue tang last and only in a tank set up for about 6 months.
The coral beauty should be one of the last fish added as well, should have plenty of algae growing before adding one.
3 Clowns doesn't work as two will form a pair and the odd fish will get picked on by the other two.
Skip the damsels unless you get blue or green chromis, as damsels get mean too and are hard to remove from a tank.
