Get rid of the sand sifting star. It will deplete your sand bed of beneficial creatures and your tanks to small to support it long term. I'd also hold off on the burgundy and linkia. I'm not a fan of hermits (destructive, snail killing, annoys corals) but some people like them and they are helpful. Might add a few nerites and cerith snails too, but not necessary.

If it is going to be a reef, I would also remove the camel shrimp. They have been known to eat some types of corals.

concerning the dragonet put a lot of empty snail shells in the tank even try to put a couple right in front by the glass and you will be able to see little groups on pods living in the shells. its really cool to watch them even when all lights are on.
