How much LR do you have in the 72? What type of butterfly do you have? If you where to get rid of the tang, then I think that you could probably get away with adding the flame. I would stop with that though, as I would consider it to be well stocked at that point. The only concern that I really have is the mandarin. Normally the need a well established tank, with plenty of LR, and a good supply of copepods to survive.
I would leave the 40 the way that it is. It sounds like you've got a pretty good selection of fish in there.

i got about 80lb of LR
butterfly is AURIGA
could i do anemone in 40 got 96w PC
i may give goby to friend with 5yo reef, but it seems to be doing well so far.....

Don't think that 1x96w would be enough light for one. I run 2x96w on my 37 gal. and most say that's not enough either.

The mandarin needs a well established tank with 100-150 lbs of LR to do well. You should have plenty of room in the 72 for more LR. I would double what you've got in there now.
You need way more light for the anemone and even with the light they are very hard to keep. I wouldn't get one. JMO
