I have to agree with Icstorc on the thank already being over stocked.

As for the specific fish you are interested in, with the exception of the flame angel, all the others are generally not suitable for a reef system. The puffer and lion get too large and will eat the other smaller fish. A Henoichus Butterfly will get too large for your tank, and will nibble on corals.

As for the flame angel, it is a dwarf angel, and you have a chance of it working out, but all angles are a toss up. It could be fine, but it could also become a tank terror. In all cases, have a plan for the fish if it doesn't work out.
