fish introduction question?

I currently have the following fish: Tomato clown, yellowtail damsel (I hope to catch him and take him to the pet store), Bangaii Cardinal (captive bread), neon goby. I plan to get: green clown goby, six line wrasse, either a flame angel or a coral beauty, and a yellow tang. My question is this: I would like to know if I should introduce the yellow tang last or the angel? If all goes to plan I woul have one inch of fish per two gallons, which is the max for an invert tank and fish tank. (from what I have read)

The clown goby will be my biggest worry, the others if healthy can hold their own, and tang and angel should not go after each other
use a fish trap to catch the damsel that is how I caught mine after it killed three wrasses
how big is the tank?

Looks to be pushing it a little for the 55 gal. I would leave out the yellow tang and then the list looks fine to me. The green clown goby may be okay but may get bullied too, you just never know.

+1 too small of a tank for a yellow tang. Like spanko said, other than that it looks pretty good.

+2, also if you have to have the clown goby, introduce while the lights are off or just b4 they go off, it will give him a few hours to find a hiding spot.

Thanks for the feedback. I might substitute the tang for the fridmani pseudochromis. They look awesome to me.
Is there a smaller type of tang that is invert and coral safe that I might be able to substitute it for?
Perhaps a different species that is reef and invert safe, hardy, small and colerfull. Thoughts?

Perhaps even a different species alltogether that is reef and invert safe, hardy, small and colerfull. Thoughts?
