Which shrimp do you have there?
I try to keep my shrimps as pairs as well as the gobies. In my experience you see more of them that way.
I would disagree that the Stonogobiops species are too small for a 110 gallon tank. I had them in my 100 gallon tank and they most definitely did not get lost in there.

All the other Anemonefish species get quite a bit larger. Though I found the Red Sea Anemonefish A. bicinctus to be rather peaceful - at least the wild ones I have.
The only anemone I would recommend for what I think you have in mind for the tank would be a magnifica. It's the anemone that is easiest to keep in a selected location and, unlike gigantea and haddoni, is not particularly dangerous to other fish, especially small bottom dwelling ones.

I simply stayed clear of the typical Anthias because they can't handle neglect as most other fish.
And the issue with many of the solitary Anthias like for example Odontanthias borbonius is that they are basically groupers.

BTW, I personally have been considering blennies of the genus Meiacanthus as Anthias substitutes. They are similar in behavior but much less trouble. And by now, many are available as captive bred.

I had pretty good success with Regal Angels, especially those I raised from juveniles. But that is a rather large fish.
Dwarf angels will nip on corals, even if just by accident. In a large tank with a lot of corals a little bit of nipping may not be too much of a problem, but in a 100 gallon I would not risk it.
