Stocking list for 125 gallon reef

Looking for some feedback here. My main goal is to have a lot of smaller things in the tank to look at, and to keep a very peaceful mix. That said, with a 125 gallon tank, I feel like I need some quantity of fish so it doesn't look empty. Here is the stocking list I have in mind right now in addition to live rock and corals. The thought is that the gobies will stick in the rockwork and the anthias and Chromis will school in the open spaces:
Fish
1 Golden Headed Sleeper Goby
1 Clown Goby
3 Firefish Goby
1 Bicolor Blenny
3 Green Chromis
3 Purple Anthias
3 Pink Square Anthias
Inverts

2 Cleaner Shrimp
2 Fire Shrimp
20 Nassarius Snail
3 Margarita Snail
3 Emerald Crab
3 Porcelain Crabs
10 Scarlet Hermit Crab
Is that too many fish? Any concerns with compatibility? Am I ok with 1 male and 2 female of the Anthias species? Am I over doing it with 6 anthias and 3 chromis? Not enough clean up crew? Any feedback appreciated.

not to many fish, if anything you could add a few other smaller ones :)
make sure to have a nice tight fitting screen or top on the tank for all the jumpers your putting in there...
anthias yes 1 male with multiple females,,,
and good luck with the chromis, they are horrible shippers and dont last long in everyones tanks
good clean up crew to start,, may need more later on depending on how messy your fish get, lol
