OK, looks like the Angel may live and the grouper and the eel are doing OK.
Id like to add 1 or 2 more fish if I caould.
what do you think will work?

I've heard of people having problems with the triggers bullying the eels... maybe if it was a Bluechin (Xanthichthys Auromarginatus) or Crosshatch (Xanthichthys Mento) From what I've heard these are the most 'Docile' Triggers, and not likely to harass the other inhabitants, but will be able to hold their own.

Don't worry. The snowflake will eradicate your crabs anyway. They are crustacean eaters.

Triggers and puffers need to be close in size to the grouper and smaller than the angle to keep things a bit safer, IMO. Triggers and puffers tend to grow quite quickly compared to many other fish.

Think I need to get rid of the grouper and the eel.
I took them in after a friend took his tank down, but now they are keeping me from getting livestock I want.

A lion would be sweet! I'd go antennata lion all the way!
David, is this still going to be a Florida setup?
If so how about...Four Eyed Butterfly (Chaetodon capistratus) or a French Angel? |

The Angel is great and so would butterfly etc.....only problem with fish like the grouper and lion is that they will suck down any thing they can.

Well get rid of the eel and grouper, and bingo bango! Problem solved. 
With the Antenatta lion, it'll stay pretty "small" (relative term) should've have a problem with those two fish. |

Just remeber though the smaller the lion, the bigger the sting. With most Dwarfs you will have a date with the floor if you get stung!
