2 angels is a no no lol they don't play nice. The one possible exception Is a potters angel they "supposedly" can go together. The other fish mentioned are fine. Snails, I like narrssius sp?? Lol astrea, cerith.
Corals softies are best for beginners such as zoas, mushrooms, ect

I would consider starting the tank with macro algae (usually in a refugium). In that way the tank will start balanced out and stabilized.
