Hi I’m new to salt water and I’m trying to figure out a stock list for my 50 gallon I want to have soft corals and eventually lps and sps corals and maybe an anemone after I have a few years of experience. Would these fish work for that type of tank? and would they work well together? also is there to many on this list? and if there is who would you suggest taking off the list?

A mated pair of ocellaris clownfish
1 royal gramma
1 purple firefish
1 4 line wrasse
1 bengi cardinal
1 starry blenny
1 longnose hawkfish

All those will work.
The hawk ans firefish may not be a good fit.
The hawk and and blenny may have issues. This is due to how the hawk and blenny perch and move.

Thank you for the information could you elaborate why is the firefish not a good fit? and how is the perching a problem? Is that a reasonable amount of fish or is that to many?
