Copperband butterflyfish do not do well long term in captivity. If you are wanting a butterflyfish, consider a pyramid. They do well and don't eat corals.
Anthias have much different requirements than other fish. You need to feed them multiple times/day. Due to this, they add quite a bit to the bioload. I have multiple anthias in my system and have 2 automatic feeders feeding 8 times/day plus once a day frozen food.
If you have a covered tank, there are some wrasse's that would go well. If no cover, don't go with wrasse's.
If you are looking for diversity, have you considered a zebra eel? They don't eat other fish.

Regal it is then unless theres a better option that I have not listed. I never looked into eels as I thought they werent reef safe and ate critters and smaller fish. Tank is also uncovered but I guess I could put a screen on top.
