A young tank will have a difficult time supporting a pipefish with or without the tankmates listed.
If you can trade the Naso, I would agree with that choice.
A mature tank, perhaps, would help in keeping pipefish. Older tanks tend to have an established supply of live "snacks" available for the type of fish that pipefish are. Tank bugs (pods), as it were. Tank bugs thrive if they have good protected areas where they can breed and mature. Lots of live rock and plants!
Sometimes this can mean a tank that is not what most folks see when they picture a saltwater tank.
These fish eat the equivalent of insects when they are in a natural setting. Imagine where frogs and spiders live, and equate that to SW.
Check out Suzy's tank here. That is what these animals require.
