Well first off
22 fish "that is going with the min amount you have listed" is a butt load of fish for a 90 gallon tank and I dont know about all of them but some of them you listed arent reef safe.
2 camelback (These are not reef safe and I have heard of them opening dusters to eat the stuff in there stomache and have heard of them eating corals)
3 sand sifting ( These are suppose to be delicate and dont usually live long)
clams
1 maxima
3 regular
maybe some mussles (Well I really dont think they sell mussles for saltwater tanks. And 4 clams is alot considering they grow pretty big and they need high intense lighting for a 90 gallon tank you would probly need 3 250 watt metal halides "that would be pushing $1000 for lights"
ananome
2 bubble tip
1 red carpet
1 seapen
Pick 1 anemone and stay with it you cant mix anemones in tanks cause they "do" move and will meet each other somewhere in the tank and it will be come a stinging war and one will be the victor and may die anyway. Its best to go with 1 anemone species.
I think you have lots and "LOTS" of research before you start buying live stuff for your tank. Dont just go through and look at pics and say "oh I like that lets get 3 or 4 of thoughs". Check the things you have listed and make sure there reef safe and if they will harm any other thing in the the tank you plan to keep.
