Stocking a 55

Ok my tank is around a year old, I've just never really gotten to fully stocking it. I do plan on eventually upgrading my lights (fluorescent) to t-5's when I get the money. My SB is about 3 inches deep and I have around 25-30 pounds of LR in it. I do plan on adding at least another 20 pounds in the future. Also I do run a protein skimmer and i have a wet/dry with rock rubble. Right now I have..
-2 percs
-bicolor blenny
-fire shrimp
-VERY small queen conch
-feather duster
-porcelein crab
-around 6 astrea/turbos and a couple of hermits
Here is some of the things I was wanting to add.
-Neon goby
-green clown goby
-blackcap basslet
-coral beauty (he comes last)
-yellow cuke (the ones from this site)
-boxing crab (if I can find one)
-mabye a coco worm if i'm up to it
-another fire shrimp
-2 anemone shrimp when I get corals (the clear, ghost ones)
-2 cleaner shrimp (I can live without these if its to much)
-and i'm debating if a blue spiny lobster could work (he would be first off the list if it's to big)
Thanks for the help

Doesn't look too bad. I'd definitely try to get more rock.
And I would scratch the lobster off the list; from what I hear, you'll never see it again once you put it in the tank.
 
A blue spiny lobster is a bad idea if you have anything that is a little bit slugish. But if you have lots of really speedy fish it might be, and I mean might be ok.
