I am waiting for my 37 gallon tank to cycle so I wrote up a list of desired inhabitants. Hopefully you guys can check for any incompatibilities. Also, here is a little description of my setup if it makes a difference: 37 gal tank, 2 MJ 1200's w/ hydor flos, Remora skimmer w/ MJ 1200, 40# arag-alive fiji pink sand, 60# kaelini LR. PC lights 2x65 10k and actinic bulbs.

Fish- (In order of importance to me, and yes, I overstocked, but you guys need to help me make my decisions)
occelaris OR tomato clown (help me choose)
Yasha goby pistol shrimp pair
Six line wrasse
neon blue cleaning goby(would this even have the cleaning benefit, considering the size of the other fish?)
royal gramma
yellow head jawfish
green chromis

Corals (not in any order)
Green polyped toadstool leather
frogspawn
galaxea
green star polyps
open brain coral
bullseye coral

Well like you said, you're pretty overstocked. Of the fish you listed, I would go with the Ocellaris Clown over the Tomato Clown because the Tomato is vert aggressive and will attack you if you put your hand in the tank. Also, Clowns do better in pairs so consider keeping two. The Six Line Wrasse will also be really nasty so I wouldn't recommend it. The Royal Grammawill be a nice addition because it's colorful and relatively peaceful. It might be a bit territorial but it won't attack anybody. It might just threaten other fish by opening their very wide mouth. I think that should be about it for fish. Invert wise, avoid the stars, urchin, and anemone in the mean time because they require very stable water conditions so it's best that you avoid adding it to your tank for the time being. For Cleaner Shrimp, it's recommended that you keep one for every 50 gallons because they can also be territorial towards each other and are known to kill each other so if you want it, it's best that you keep just one.

I'd also avoid the six line, or if you want it, don't get the chromis as it's the most likely to get picked on. I would cut one or two fish off your list. The Galaxea coral is also a no-no as they send out very long sweeper tentacles that can kill every coral in your 37.
