Stocking questions for a saltwater beginner

So I've been working with multiple freshwater aquariums for a several years, ever since I was little, and have been looking into saltwater recently. I hope to set up a 100 gallon reef aquarium, and I wanted to know if my set of fish and inverts works here. I have a feeling it will be a bit overstocked, but heres my list:

2 Ocellaris Clowns
2 Firefish
1 Royal Gramma
1 One Spot Foxface
1 Yellow Tang
2 Green Mandarins
2 Flasher Wrasse
6 Reef Chromis
1 Bubble Tip Anemone
1 Lettuce Sea Slug
2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
2 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Tile Sea Star
5 Dwarf Yellow Tip Hermit Crab
1 Maxima Clam
1 Shortspine Urchin

I do know that there might be some aggression with the Tang and Foxface, as they look so similar to the tang, and I'm a little worried about the anemone attacking any of the fish.

I haven't decided on the corals yet, but I'm open to any advice! What I would also consider is a smaller 30 gallon setup with the clownfish and mandarins in particular, but really hope to make something big. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Unless you plan on adding pods to the 30 then I would stay clear of mandarins in that small of a tank. In the larger one though if you it establish for awhile before gettimg them you should be good.
