Opinions and Sanity Check needed

Well we all know how it is when we see all the nice species and we want one of all of them, but sadly this is not realistic nor substainable.
I've suffered a couple of losses from my original plans over the last year or two but they have led me to new plans and stocklist that I think make a more appealing tank with color variety and less aggression.
Now for your part

I wanted some feedback on my tank stocklist so here goes.
240g FOWLR w/ 300lbs of LR (96"x24"x24")
Blond Naso Tang
Yellow Tang
Austrailan Harlequin Tusk
Red Coris Wrasse
Magnificent Foxface
Maroon Clownfish
Snowflake Moray
Brazilian Goldentail Moray aka Banana
Majestic Angelfish
Flame Angelfish
2 - Yellowbelly Damsels
3 - Azure Damsels
2 - Four Striped Damsels
1 - Starki Damsel
Chocolate Chip Starfish
What do you guys think of this set-up? Too much, enough, too little
Anything that is missing or needed?
Have considered 1 last fish, but easily be talked out of it.
Here are the one's being considered:
1. Broomtail Wrasse
2. Green Bird Wrasse

I'm not a fan of chocolate chips since they have a good potential to eat fish and corals, but if you've had it long term then it might not hurt. I think linkias are a better alternative if the tank has been going awhile and definitely more colorful. The rest of the list looks good (personally not a fan of damsels, but to each their own) and with regard to the green bird wrasse... if its worked before, it'll probably work again. The broomtail is definitely more expensive than the green bird wrasse too.

The Damsels add dither and eat the crumbs that the big fish don't eat. In an 8' tank a dozel 2-3" fish practically are just dots of colors.
As for the CC star, it was given to me and I figure it is just a crumb cleaner too, so never bothered to remove.
So now, am I full or do I have room for 1 more fish and if so, give me some good options.
Figured I needed some green and wrasses are nice and colorful. Worried that the Broomtail might be TOO MUCH!

yeah get the green bird wrasse...
Maybe... the dreaded... powder blue tang (noticed you didn't have any acantharus tangs)? Not green, but looks equally good yet sensitive.
