Default adding new tank mates

I have a yellow, purple and red sea sail fin tang, maroon clown, valencia goby, 5 chromis in my 150 gal. reef tank. I am thinking of adding a mystery wrasse, 3 bartlett anthias, lemonpeel and flame angel. ( not all at once). Does anyone see a problem with this list. I probably will add the wrasse first while it is in stock.
I have read the lemonpeal angel might ba a problem with corals. I have two candy canes. green hammer and an anenome. Need opinions.

Angels are unpredictable with corals...it's a good thing you don't have many. IMHO the key to keeping angels from munching on your corals is to feed them (use a seaweed clip and feed them nori regularly).
