I would scratch the moorish idol, auriga butterfly and the tang, or any tang for that matter. Not enough room IMO. Some suggestions would be a royal gramma, Bangaii Cardinals and a school of chromis.

The clowns and coral beauty are perfect additions.
In my 55 that I am working on now, I have 2 ocellaris clows, 1 firefish (the other died last week!), a snowflake eel. I am tossing around the ideas of a few royal grammas, a coral beauty, and a blackback butterflyfish (not all of them! but those are the ones I am considering). I hope that helps.
I haven't had any experience w/the other 3 you mentioned, but most people will tell you that a tang needs 6 feet of swimming room and that a moorish idol has a very poor survival rate. But as I said before, I don't have any personal experience with them. Good luck choosing!

As said above a Moorish idol needs a Huge (150g +) tank and a tang need a 125 or more. Otherwise i think your fine....... i don't know much about butterflies though.
