Would pass on the six line, they can get rather aggressive, unless it's the last fish you add.

Bumble bee snails can be carnivorous, so I would advise against them, look into ceriths and trochus snails, the latter having the ability to right themselves should they fall on their side.

You might also be able to add an anthias of sorts, possibly a borbonius or fathead anthias, etc.

Six lines can be too damn aggressive. I'll never buy one again. Tail Spot Blennys are a lot more colourful than Lawnmowers and can be kept in pairs.

No need for bumblebee snails. They don't add a lot of diversity and there are anecdotal accounts that they are not reef safe. Stick with Turbos, astrea snails, cerith snails, and other common cleanup snails.

As for hermits, my advice is to stick ONLY to blue-legged/blue dwarf hermits. They tend to be the least aggressive and least opportunistic as they are the smallest available.
